Chatham Street Lad (7/4), Entoucas (3/1), The Shunter (5/1), Fan De Blues (6/1), Front View (6/1), Pont Aven (10/1), Daly Tiger (20/1), Arvico Bleu (20/1), Timoteo (20/1), Kildorrery (25/1), Bel Ami De Sivola (28/1), Top Moon (33/1), Or Jaune De Somoza (50/1), Chosen Mate (50/1), Goulane Chosen (80/1), Game Of War (100/1)

CHATHAM STREET LAD produced a remarkable performance when putting a field of very solid handicappers to the sword in the Caspian Caviar Gold Cup at Cheltenham 5 weeks ago and remains one to keep on the right side of. Joseph O'Brien's pair Front View and Entoucas are feared most.
