Lucky Pat (7/2), Topper Thornton (7/2), Swantykay (4/1), Net D'Ecosse (7/1), Cecil Corbett (7/1), Boher Call (10/1), Our Sox (12/1), Balnagon Boy (14/1), Empresario (16/1), Drumhart (18/1), Manuka (20/1)
Lucky Pat produced his best effort yet to score at Kilbeggan recently and cannot be easily discounted despite the 7lb increase that he shoulders for his efforts. However, a step up in distance should play into the hands of BOHER CALL, who won nicely at Thurles in February and was not disgraced off this rating over a 2m trip that was shorter than ideal at Limerick since. Fairyhouse faller Cecil Corbett can take a part in the finish if staying on his feet while Balnagon Boy completes the shortlist on his November run here over a longer trip.
