Rydan (11/8), Sennockian Star (3/1), Blue Surf (9/2), Masterpaver (13/2), Fattsota (11/1), Lord Napier (20/1), Precision Five (50/1)
The mercurial Rydan has what it takes to win this if his capable rider can unleash his potential. He looked less than co-operative last time and may find Sennockian Star too resolute for him again. Mark Johnston's charge is a former Listed winner who has been rejuvenated this winter. Both though could find MASTERPAVER ready to snap a losing streak. He has lost nothing in defeat recently and his rider may be able to exploit the decent pace that he needs with Fattsota and Sennockian Star in the lineup.
1. Masterpaver
2. Sennockian Star
