Sli Na Ghealai (10/11), Bright Stripes (15/8), Volto Di Medusa (7/2), Tartaraghan (11/2), Nitti (8/1), Bergamasco (10/1), Cornahilt Soldier (12/1), Sobriety Blue (12/1), Are You In Or Out (66/1), Stall The Ball (150/1)

This represents a good opportunity for BRIGHT STRIPES to make it third time lucky. He duly stepped up on his debut form when a close third in a valuable, big-field sales race over 6f at Naas, leaving the strong impression that he would improve for the step up to this trip. Newcomer Volto Di Medusa is not short of appeal on paper and could be the one to follow Bright Stripes home, with Sli Na Ghealai taken to collect more minor place money.
