Atlantic Breaker (2/1), Canny Tom (11/4), Dorans River (4/1), Penance (9/1), Ciaoifsin (12/1), Winterberry (14/1), Westinmare (14/1), Toccata Blue (25/1), New Stream (50/1), Megara (50/1), Maureen's Star (66/1), Supreme Ambition (66/1)

If Gordon Elliott has got Dorans River back to something like his best form and ready after a break, he would hold a decent chance of landing this. The market may tell us what's expected after a break but ATLANTIC BREAKER holds a fitness advantage, is proven under the likely conditions and acts well on the track, and that swings the vote his way. Supreme Ambition can prove best of the rest.
