Limerick Leader (10/3), Dr Shirocco (7/2), Large Action (9/2), Cartonne (11/2), Shoughall's Boy (6/1), Nabraska (9/1), Thunder In Milan (16/1), Devour (33/1), The Great Georgie (40/1)

Verdict

LIMERICK LEADER shaped well when third on his recent chasing bow here and is fancied to take a step forward now his stamina is drawn out more and open his account. C&D scorer Large Action rates the chief threat if, as expected, bouncing back from a below-par Sedgefield showing last time out. Dr Shirocco and Nabraska appeal as the duo best equipped to fight it out for minor honours.

  1. LIMERICK LEADER (FR)
  2. LARGE ACTION
  3. DR SHIROCCO (IRE)
