Molly Wedger (7/2), Auckland (7/2), Clonbury Bridge (6/1), Shantou Warrior (7/1), Ballyadam Destiny (8/1), Zaccarela (11/1), Saol Iontach (11/1), Bloodstone (12/1), Elegant Dan (16/1), Sunday At Julia's (16/1), Courtin Bb (16/1), Vic's Little Miss (25/1), Supreme Vinnie (28/1), Le Hachette (28/1), Blossomfort Bay (33/1), Yamato (66/1), Fongs Way (66/1), Bally Dun Liss (100/1)

Verdict

MOLLY WEDGER has been hit hard by the handicapper for last month's C&D success, but she could hardly have been more impressive and may well go in again. Saol Iontach is more than capable of playing a leading role off this mark, but it's hard to ignore the fact that she's 0-17 over hurdles and Clonbury Bridge, who is clearly going the right way, is feared most. Supreme Vinnie also has claims.
