Townshend (5/4), Three Wise Men (5/2), Potters Point (11/4), Bobbie's Diamond (16/1), Definite Earl (25/1), Quickpick Vic (33/1), Longhouse Music (50/1), Mount Beckham (66/1)

Townshend must put a fall in Grade One company here last time out but remains a danger and it will not be a shock if he's in the mix for this prize. Three Wise Men was a bit disappointing over a longer trip around here recently but could be competitive over this trip on his previous efforts. POTTERS POINT has to brush up on his jumping but there have been enough positives from him in three starts since joining this trainer to suggest he can land this. Definite Earl may be best of the remainder.
