Rewired (11/4), Cuban Cigar (9/2), Smart Lass (11/2), Blooriedotcom (8/1), Scots Poet (17/2), Our Marty (11/1), Flylikeaneagle (12/1), Iceman Dennis (12/1), Zamond (14/1), Simple Star (25/1), Iolani (33/1), Crecerelle (50/1), Wilhelm Vonvenster (66/1)

The reliable CUBAN CIGAR has had the form of his fourth in a C&D Class 2 on New Year's Day boosted a couple of times since and can deservedly get his head back in front now taking a drop in grade. Smart Lass won this race last year and could give his owner a 1-2. Zamond and Rewired complete the shortlist.
