Probable S.P’s: 5-2 Champ de Gane (FR), 10-3 Dripsey Moon (IRE), Bayonetta (IRE), 16-1 Call Me Harry (IRE), Kopa Kilana (IRE), 20-1 Councillor K (IRE), 25-1 Moneynabane (IRE), 33-1 Ballyphilip (IRE), 50-1 Knocky (IRE), 80-1 Our Zebo (IRE), 150-1 Carlo Storm (IRE) PLAY

Perhaps this can be the day that CHAMP DE GANE, who returns to hurdles after a spell chasing. ﬁnally gets off the mark. John McConnell point recruit Dripsey Moon could be a dangerous opponent if the betting speaks in his favour Downpatrick runner-up Bayonetta should also be on the premises.
