Port Joulain (11/10), Sermandzarak (9/4), Bossofthebrownies (3/1), Champagne Kid (16/1), My Boy Christy (100/1), Sonny Fella (200/1)

PORT JOULAIN's career hasn't quite gone to plan as yet but he arrives on the back of a good effort and there may well be more to come, so he's preferred to Sermandzara and Bossofthebrownies, who are closely matched on form.
