4 (3)	Unquestionable Bay J:Ryan Moore T:A P Obrien	J:Ryan Moore T:A P Obrien	131	—	312	110	117	97	41d	—	—	+8	37.9	0.47/1	15/8 35%
Wants good ground and much could depend on when the forecast rain falls; leading contender
7 (6)	Porta Fortuna Bay J:Oisin Murphy T:Donnacha Aidan Obrien	J:Oisin Murphy T:Donnacha Aidan Obrien	128	—	111	106	115	105	50d	—	—	+22	41.7	0.83/1	10/3 23%
Albany winner is versatile as to ground and likely still improving; should go close
2 (2)	Givemethebeatboys Bay J:Shane Foley T:Mrs John Harrington	J:Shane Foley T:Mrs John Harrington	131	—	114	106	113	90	53d	—	—	+14	31	1.63/1	13/2 13%
Coventry fourth might find a couple too good but very likely to make his presence felt
1 (1)	Bucanero Fuerte Bay J:Kevin Stott T:Adrian Murray	J:Kevin Stott T:Adrian Murray	131	—	131	111	117	98	41d	—	—	+15	39.6	0.63/1	5/2 29%
Acts on any ground and might be better suited to any rain than a few of his rivals
3 (5)	His Majesty Bay J:Seamie Heffernan T:A P Obrien	J:Seamie Heffernan T:A P Obrien	131	—	13432	104	112	96	27d	—	—	+19	25.1	3.75/1	16 6%
More exposed than most of these and unlikely to be good enough even if running his race
5 (4)	Gaenari Bay J:Gavin Ryan T:Diego Dias	J:Gavin Ryan T:Diego Dias	128	h	2262	93	102	90	7d	—	—	+18	20.3	12.25/1	50 2%
Unlucky not to have won a race but has a fair bit to find here; might just prefer five
6 (7)	Launch Bay J:Gary Halpin T:Adrian Murray	J:Gary Halpin T:Adrian Murray	128	—	230733	85	95	81	5d	—	—	+14	14.8	37.25/1	150 1%
Six-race maiden and looks to be in here to ensure a decent pace for his stablemate
