O'Reilly's Pass (3/1), Bealach (7/2), Magic Shuffle (11/2), Saeer (13/2), Songo (13/2), Island Nation (7/1), Whitehaven (11/1), Costello (14/1), Kybosh (16/1), Percy's Prince (18/1), Topology (28/1), Soramond (40/1), Muraaqeb (66/1), Word Of Honour (80/1)

BEALACH showed his best form for a while at Lingfield last time when second on his polytrack debut. It might be the case that he's a better horse on the all-weather so is chanced to progress again on the surface. O'Reilly's Pass is lightly raced and improving with every run so can't be ruled out. Saeer would be dangerous to dismiss given his lightly-raced profile and connections.
