Intense Approach (1/4), Ivana (2/1), Cape Best (13/2), Kilta (9/1), Gone For Tea (14/1), Sweet Liberty (14/1), Sameasiteverwas (33/1), Valiretta (50/1), Cedar Wood (80/1)

Verdict

IVANA ran out an impressive winner on her debut at Limerick last month and looks the way to go here with improvement very much on the cards. Intense Approach also shaped well on his first start when runner-up at Ballinrobe and should ensure the mare doesn't have things all her own way. Newcomers Cape Best and Valiretta can fight it out for minor honours.
