Harry Topper (10/3), Loose Chips (6/1), Shotavodka (13/2), O'Faolains Boy (7/1), Goulanes (8/1), Katenko (17/2), Just A Par (14/1), Rocky Creek (14/1), No Duffer (16/1), Seventh Sky (20/1), Al Co (20/1), Turban (33/1)

HARRY TOPPER is thrown in on pieces of his old form and he proved he wasn't done with yet when staying on strongly for fourth last time; he will be hard to beat if building upon that. O'Faolains Boy is one with a similar profile and has some useful course form while the consistency of Loose Chips gives him a good each-way chance.
