Three By Two (5/2), Birchdale (3/1), Vital Island (7/2), Stealthy Tom (7/2), Hurricane Darwin (9/2), Plan Of Attack (7/1), Go Another One (8/1), Blast Of Koeman (14/1), Midnight Maestro (14/1), Hardline (14/1), Jet Fighter (14/1), Mortal (25/1), Subset (33/1), Grangeclare Native (33/1), Alpha Male (50/1), Four Country Roads (80/1), Western Sea (100/1), An Droichead Eile (100/1), Three Loud Knocks (125/1)

Over half of these were involved earlier in the week so, with that in mind, PLAN OF ATTACK is taken to snap a lengthy losing run stretching back to 2019. Last year's winner Hurricane Darwin has presumably been saved for this contest so he may emerge as the main danger, while Three By Two took to the banks like a duck to water when winning over C&D on Tuesday and so she warrants plenty of respect if turned out again quickly.
