Jon Riggens (3/1), Little Queenie (7/1), Dun Na Sead (7/1), Running Cool (7/1), Gabriella's Spirit (7/1), Silmaniya (17/2), Curraheen Princess (10/1), Gordon Bennett (10/1), Prisoner's Dilemma (14/1), Screen Siren (14/1), Parting Glass (14/1), Polar Bear (25/1)

JON RIGGENS was unlucky behind a couple of these at Cork recently and, granted better luck this time, the 5-y-o can gain compensation. A winner on this card last year, Gordon Bennett has edged back to a good mark and he has to be taken seriously, while Prisoner's Dilemma could be a threat back down in trip if they go hard up front. Gabriella's Spirit and Little Queenie were the two that finished in front of the selection at Cork and both should be on the premises once again.
