Probable S.P’s: 10-3 Moulin Booj (IRE), 13-2 Headabovetherest (IRE), Spirit In My Soul (IRE), 10-1 Jack of Clubs (GB), Howyadoin (IRE), 12-1 King of The Jungle (IRE), 20-1 Ohnojoe (IRE), Parr Fire (IRE), 22-1 Wurkin Ninetofive (IRE), 28-1 Rodborough (GB), 33-1 Storminghull (GB), 40-1 Desert Illusion (IRE), Smooch (IRE), 50-1 Stella Blue (IRE), 66-1 Lady Roamer (GB)

HEADABOVETHEREST improved and fared best of those held up when second at Newcastle 8 days ago so, if the pace is solid, he’s capable of going one better at the likely expense of the in-form Moulin Booj. Howyadoin, a former stablemate of the selection, is also of interest.
