Party House (18/5), Merroir (9/2), Kazakdaria (6/1), Mighty Blue (15/2), Me Too Please (8/1), Melburnian (17/2), Ever A Dream (11/1), Pachmena (12/1), Pineapple Express (16/1), Hamley (16/1), Hayyel (20/1), Sasta (20/1), Getawiggleon (20/1), French Fusion (22/1), Vera Verto (50/1)

There are several to consider in this competitive handicap. MELBURNIAN tops the shortlist having caught the eye at Galway last time, an effort which strongly suggested that her turn is very near. Unexposed handicap debutante Kazakdaria is a much-respected main danger, while Me Too Please and Party House are others to consider. The hat-trick seeking Merroir also needs a mention.
