Annabelle Rock (11/4), Pillar (4/1), Tynamite (9/2), The Cola Kid (11/2), Alice Milligan (13/2), Ahundrednotout (11/1), Poet's Pride (11/1), Caesar's Comet (12/1), Bellick (16/1), Three Sevens (16/1), Eleuthera (18/1), Ossco (25/1), Great Midge (28/1), No Show (33/1), Wishbone (66/1), Picpoul (100/1), Smart Project (200/1)

ANNABELLE ROCK took a big step back in the right direction when second over C&D 4 weeks ago and is taken to go one better now. Pillar, who is handily drawn for one who usually gets on with things, The Cola Kid and Alice Milligan head the dangers.
