Riders Onthe Storm (4/1), Cepage (4/1), Oldgrangewood (4/1), Duke Street (9/2), The Russian Doyen (8/1), War Sound (17/2), Copper West (14/1), Bigmartre (25/1), The West's Awake (25/1), Indian Temple (40/1)

A very competitive contest on paper. Oldgrangewood is dangerously well handicapped if he can get back to anything like his form of two years ago, following wind surgery. War Sound lost his way a little after winning here last year, but he is a danger to all if firing now freshened again. Cepage, Bigmartre and The Russian Doyen can all have cases made, but the unexposed and in-form DUKE STREET gets the vote now reverting to chases, as there could still be a fair bit more to come.
