Flashaway (2/5), Instant Tendance (7/2), Lothbeg (13/2), Kate Knows Best (14/1), Cathedral Rocks (18/1), Sadies Diamond (25/1), Luna Ventura (33/1), Ballymores Dream (100/1)

Verdict

FLASHAWAY represents a top yard and is out of a bumper winner, so she's an obvious choice to make a successful start in what looks a thin race on paper. Instant Tendance is a threat following a good second at Punchestown and Cathedral Rocks can't be ruled out.
