Most of these have had their chances and probably won't be running to their official mark. They include Mansuri, who has been consistent without able to find a finishing burst, and Elusive Laurence, who disappointed at Naas last time. Walk Right Back and Refusetolisten have looked mainly moderate and may have to wait for handicaps so CHIEF SUSPECT is handed the vote as he was probably unlucky not to have finished much closer at Galway last time.
