Mall Dini (7/4), Bachasson (11/4), General Principle (7/2), Jett (7/2), Fitzhenry (25/1), Positive Approach (33/1), Nine Stiches (40/1), Oscar Lantern (40/1), Lasoscar (50/1), Kalogan (125/1), Flatfoot Boogie (200/1), Mount Oliver (200/1), Chelate (200/1)

The likely principles all have questions of one sort or another over them. Bachasson has plenty of ability but his jumping remains a significant worry and for that reason he is bypassed. Plenty was expected of Mall Dini going chasing this season but he has yet to really show a desire to get his head in front and might settle for places again in this, while General Principle has shown similar traits and also needs to bounce back having hit the deck here previously. JETT finished a close second to Yorkhill last time out and, having pulled well clear of a 148-rated rival in third, he's plenty entitled to win this contest. Of those at bigger prices, connections may expect to see more from Oscar Lantern in due course. 1. Jett 2. Mall Dini 3. General Principle
