Sonnyboyliston (6/5), Sunchart (7/2), O'Reilly (9/2), Lough Derg (13/2), Kalapour (10/1), Springbank (28/1), Questionare (50/1), Lugnaquilla (50/1), Dalvey (100/1)

Verdict

SONNYBOYLISTON is a smart performer who has less on his ptate than when a good third to Japan in Chester's Ormonde Stakes and can open his account for the season. Both Lough Derg and O'Reilly promise to be suited by stepping up in trip though so should ensure Johnny Murtagh's 4-y-o doesn't havie things all his own way.
