Dunvegan (13/8), Breaken (15/8), I'm A Game Changer (9/2), Trainwreck (5/1), Valdieu (8/1), Arverne (16/1), Envol Pierji (20/1), Ballyneety (33/1), Deilginis (50/1), Castle Oliver (50/1), West Is Best (50/1), Chavi Artist (66/1), Fivecardstud (100/1), Empirion (100/1)

Verdict

BREAKEN looked a top-class if not difficult prospect in two starts last season, but based on his Limerick victory he could be a graded performer in waiting. He should be tough to beat providing he handles the occasion. His main rival could be Dunvegan, who was highly regarded enough to be sent off well-fancied for a Grade 1 last season and has the scope of a chaser in time, while the likes of Trainwreck and Ballyneety have slowly got the hang of things but need to improve once again to be competitive.
