Opening Bid (13/8), Norley (11/4), Gold Link (4/1), Magistrato (8/1), Go Fox (10/1), Sophosc (11/1), Tremwedge (100/1)

OPENING BID has thrived with the headgear left off over fences, completing a hat-trick with a dominant success over C&D 19 days ago. He can score again in his current mood, though Norley resumed his progress last time and is feared most. Gold Link also remains open to improvement as a chaser.
