Duke Of Moravia (7/2), Lucky Bounce (7/2), Bashers Reflection (4/1), Highland Getaway (4/1), Samatian (11/2), Higher Ground (8/1), Betty's Belle (17/2), Tiny Tantrum (12/1), Yellow Jacket (12/1), Crawford (16/1), Cool Rain (25/1), Mr Sociable (33/1), Sa Alors (40/1), Little Brown Mouse (80/1), Solid Fuel (100/1), Second Chapter (100/1)

Plenty with chances in this opener. DUKE OF MORAVIA appeals as one who could have more to come now making a quick switch to handicaps and gets the vote. Highland Getaway has a similar profile to the selection and a market move for him would make him a major threat. Lucky Bounce and Samatian have already shown they can do it in handicaps and complete the shortlist.
