Little Camacho (4/1), Silk Cravat (6/1), Guiding (7/1), Trueba (7/1), Piper Bomb (7/1), Bellick (10/1), Count Of Carabass (11/1), Conversant (12/1), Stormy Air (12/1), Three Angels (14/1), Downtown Diva (16/1), Talk Now (16/1), Chagall (20/1), Me Well (20/1), Tribal Path (20/1), Mimic's Memory (25/1), Texas Radio (25/1), Snow Hope (25/1), Dillygass (25/1)

LITTLE CAMACHO showed good form on seasonal debut and she can go one better than when finishing runner-up that day. Trueba wasn't beaten far when fourth last time out and he is taken to claim second spot ahead of Talk Now who is debuting for a new yard having won on his most recent appearance.
