Martinstown (2/1), Self Belief (9/4), Visualisation (9/2), Sunchart (9/2), Venice Biennale (12/1), Zola Sakura (18/1), Hotter Than Hades (66/1), Joupe (125/1)

Verdict

SELF BELIEF scored twice last year, including at this level when last seen, so he looks like the one to be with for all that Martinstown has bags of potential after a winning debut 10 months ago. Visualisation is a player if back on his game.
