Bhean Saibhre (15/8), Following Orders (2/1), Tippawan Haa (2/1), So Far Away (12/1), Bangor Lady (16/1), Ikalimix (25/1), Hercrazysbeautiful (66/1), Blinding Light (80/1), Mr Eastwood (100/1), Mane Attraction (125/1)
TIPPAWAN HAA showed much improved form on only the third start of his career when runner-up at Cork 3 weeks ago and has scope for improvement. He's narrowly preferred to Following Orders who has got his jumping together in recent starts and should go well again, while Bhean Saibhre was running a big race when falling last time over hurdles and her second on the Flat last month is working out well.
