Puturhandstogether (5/2), Siege Of Troy (9/2), Lord Church (5/1), Gibbs Island (6/1), It'sonlyjustbegun (6/1), Courageous Strike (8/1), Slurricane (10/1), Messerschmitt (25/1), Sli Na Ghealai (50/1), Promo Queen (150/1)

This looks very competitive, with several promising and progressives types to consider. IT'SONLYJUSTBEGUN was value for at least double the winning margin at Navan last weekend and she gets the nod ahead of Puturhandstogether, who went down narrowly at Gowran last month. Lord Church has to be respected in his bid for the four-timer, while Siege of Troy's best days are surely still ahead of him and the consistent Gibbs Island should give another good account.
