Erica's Joy (2/1), Ben Thomson (85/40), The Greek (9/2), Eric Carmen (15/2), Anna Van Go (15/2), Boston Brahmin (10/1), Alvarez (12/1), Staging Post (16/1), Justbecool (16/1), Lyla Garrity (20/1), Tullyhogue Fort (25/1)

ERICA'S JOY clearly wasn't quite right at Kilbeggan on debut but, given he was sent off at a short price for his top yard that day, he's worth another chance to show what he's capable of in a winnable race. The Greek should be suited by the step up in trip, so he should build on his debut, and Ben Thomson is the clear pick of the newcomers.
