Ey Up It's Maggie (6/4), Hey Mr (13/2), Star Of Aria (13/2), Phoenix Beach (15/2), Glory Fighter (11/1), Indian Sounds (11/1), Gustav Graves (12/1), Refuge (14/1), Sherdil (22/1), Lotus Rose (22/1)

The finale can go the way of HEY MR, who shaped well at this course on his final outing last season, faring best of those who raced stand side. The 5-y-o could be ready to take advantage of his career-low mark on his first start for Paul Midgley, though Ey Up It's Maggie is respected as she drops in grade. Phoenix Beach completes the shortlist.
