Soul Icon (4/1), Lallygag (9/2), Serious Operator (13/2), Rambo T (7/1), Rocky Man (7/1), Angels Breath (17/2), Elogio (9/1), Kansas City Star (16/1), Building Bridges (18/1), Arabian King (20/1), Bucko's Boy (20/1), Milkwood (20/1), Pinnacle Peak (28/1), Stringtoyourbow (33/1), Thirtyfourstitches (40/1), Moneynabane (80/1)
Cases can be made for a good number of these, with unexposed 6-y-os SERIOUS OPERATOR and Lallygag topping the shortlist, in that order of preference. The former landed a decent Ayr handicap on his final start of last season and his record when fresh (winner of all 4 starts under Rules following a break of 2 months or more) augurs well. Lallygag did very little wrong as a novice and should have more to offer, while Bucko's Boy, the hat-trick seeking Building Bridges and Rambo T all merit respect.
