San Remo (9/2), Bold Knight (9/2), Percy (11/2), My Direction (6/1), Magna Cartor (7/1), Fiesole (8/1), Here For The Craic (10/1), Massayan (10/1), Theos Well (25/1), You Can't Catch Me (28/1)

Last year's winner My Direction appears to have plenty to find on the formbook if hoping for a repeat success while recent Galway winner Magna Cartor is in good heart but does tend to find winning a challenge. Bold Knight is another in form contender but won't find it easy on these terms. Massayan meanwhile is forgiven a poor effort on seasonal bow given his yard was out of form and is now doing much better. You Can't Catch Me had 3l in hand on Magna Carto when landing a Clonmel maiden in May over a longer trip, assuming this doesn't prove too sharp from him, he could prove up to a winning handicap debut on the Flat and is marginally preferred ahead of Fiesole and San Remo, each of which comes here in promising form.
