Pinar Del Rio (9/2), Expressova (9/2), Tough Talk (6/1), Pier Pressure (8/1), Benavente (17/2), Secret Magician (17/2), Blanc De Noir (9/1), Hurricane Ivor (10/1), Verhoyen (12/1), Dagoda (12/1), Physique (18/1), Ice Cold In Alex (20/1), Volatile Analyst (25/1), Genuine Article (25/1), Rumbled Again (40/1), New Definition (66/1)

EXPRESSOVA showed improved form when making a winning return/yard debut at Gowran 4 weeks ago and the manner of that success suggests an 8 lb rise in the weights may not prevent Joseph O'Brien's filly going close again. Pier Pressure, and Verhoyen, who has landed the last 2 renewals of this race, are feared. Pinar del Rio and Blanc de Noir complete the shortlist.
