Le Martalin (1/2), Ornua (5/4), Ask Susan (15/8), Icelip (25/1), Silent Account (66/1)
The progressive Noel Meade-trained LE MARTALIN should be too strong for the opposition here confirming the places with Henry De Bromhead's Ornua who found himself 18L adrift of the seven-year-old at Killarney in May. Ask Susan, distance winner at Tramore last month can take advantage of any shortcomings from the two main protagonists.
