Ballyglass Beauty (11/4), Desert Heather (7/1), Cheerful Chap (7/1), Pale Blue Dot (15/2), Townhill Penny (8/1), Dr Val (8/1), Yenillik (11/1), Champagne Monarch (14/1), Simply Shabra (14/1), Whip Whitaker (16/1), He Fitz In (16/1), Getaclan (18/1)

BALLYGLASS BEAUTY should be spot on after his encouraging Thurles third after a break so this course winner gets the vote in an open-looking handicap. Dr Val is also handily weighted and next on the list, especially if the fitting of blinkers ekes out more improvement, with in-form duo Townhill Penny and Cheerful Chap completing the shortlist.
