Spruce Meadows (2/1), Jaqen H'ghar (4/1), Political Policy (7/1), Eagle Spirit (7/1), Wooster (8/1), Mainicin (9/1), Felix Mendelssohn (14/1), Mountain Rock (16/1), My Direction (20/1), Maudlin Magdalen (25/1), Nanabad (28/1)

Former C&D winner MAINICIN is on career-high mark now but the mare scored on her penultimate start at Leopardstown with plenty up her sleeve, coming away to win by 5½L last month. She flopped next time at the Curragh but a mitigating factor there might have been the three days between runs. She could well bounce back and give this a real push. Plenty here will have chances if producing their best with Jaqen H'ghar and My Direction both C&D winners and Maudlin Magdalen boasting winning form. Handicap debutant Mountain Rock is also worth considering.
