Battleford (6/4), Minella Till Dawn (11/4), C'Est Jersey (7/1), Drumconnor Lad (8/1), Burgas (10/1), Baden (12/1), Milsean (14/1), Theophilus (50/1), Highway Royal (66/1), Beyond The Obvious (66/1)
Minella Till Dawn was bang in contention at Fairyhouse earlier in the month only to crash out at the last, he had however been under pressure for some time by that point so he had a tough race there. Milsean would be a huge danger on his best form and while he hasn't shown that for some time, the switch to this trainer might well send him back in the right direction so any market vibes in his favour are worth noting. Stablemates Battleford and C'est Jersey are both respected, with the former preferred dropping back in trip but it might pay to side with British raider BADEN. The Seven Barrows inmate was third in this 12 months ago and is a year stronger and wiser now, he's only managed one win in four starts this term but has been running in decent company and his trainer routinely has a few tricks up his sleeve at this meeting. Drumconnor Lad is a potential improver for a jockey in brilliant form.
