Jimmy Du Seuil (1/1), Farmers Lodge (10/3), Dollar Nolimit (6/1), Asian Master (7/1), Ankud (16/1), Monsieur Azul (16/1), Missus Beeton (22/1), Intent Approach (28/1), Noble Talent (40/1), Bayou Belle (66/1), Answering (125/1), Fort Randall (125/1), Bigira (150/1), Rinnaseer King (200/1), Eabha Rose (200/1)

Verdict

The French bumper JIMMY DU SEUIL finished second in back in September 2022 worked out well and though he's been off the track since, he couldn't be in better hands. Ankud is open to progress and is feared most, with Monsieur Azul another to consider.
