Vultan (9/4), Alghazaal (11/4), Alatar (9/2), Big Island (6/1), Lady Ironside (8/1), Pyramid Rock (12/1), Natchez Trace (12/1), Crescent Lake (20/1), High Lake (22/1), Money Mike (200/1), Watergrange Fairy (250/1), Rizannon (250/1)

Verdict

ALGHAZAAL shaped like a useful prospect when runner-up in a maiden at Cork 2 weeks ago and looks the one to beat. Vultan has shown something to work on in maidens 9 months apart and is next best ahead of Alatar.
