Fakir D'alene (2/1), Donkey Years (4/1), Sean Says (9/2), That's Lifebuoy (11/2), The Chapel Field (8/1), Goodnightngodbless (9/1), Soldier At War (20/1), All The Chimneys (22/1)

This is a competitive field but FAKIR D'ALENE had loads up his sleeve when landing a novice at Down Royal last time and a mark of 132 may well underestimate him, so he's preferred to The Chapel Field, with Donkey Years regarded as a danger if the market speaks in his favour.
