Arcadian Sea (5/2), Fantasy Gladiator (5/1), Diptych (6/1), Avocet (6/1), Outlaw Torn (7/1), Master Of Heaven (10/1), Coachella (10/1), Sussex Girl (12/1), Dor's Law (14/1), The Dukkerer (14/1), Jazri (16/1), Geordielad (20/1), Master Of Song (50/1)

OUTLAW TORN has been running well in recent starts on turf and can register his tenth victory on the AW by taking this contest. The selection has won off higher marks in the past and is taken to see off Diptych who is the least exposed runner in this contest and makes her handicap debut for shrewd connections in this while the veteran Fantasy Gladiator is taken to follow up his recent success here by claiming third.
