Dalamoi (11/4), Nassalam (3/1), Major Dundee (7/1), Two For Gold (8/1), Fern Hill (9/1), Cyclop (9/1), Dr Kananga (10/1), Wayfinder (11/1), Fortescue (12/1), Not Sure (14/1), Rapper (14/1), Quel Destin (16/1), Shan Blue (20/1), Pats Fancy (28/1)

Verdict

TWO FOR GOLD is the class act in this field and if he's in the same form as he was on return he'll be the one to beat. Nassalam is a big danger having shaped well on his reappearance and Cyclop should give another good account.
