Main Fact (1/3), Let Me Be (6/1), Spycracker (9/1), Selsey Sizzler (11/1), Sharney (12/1), Red Dragoness (50/1), Burnage Boy (50/1), Jan De Heem (66/1), Gordalan (125/1), Tor (125/1), Smart Living (200/1)

MAIN FACT escapes a penalty for his recent Newbury success and simply cannot be opposed. Sharney and Spycracker can battle it out for minor honours.
