Ocean Wind (11/10), Sir Ron Priestley (9/4), Laafy (11/2), Win O'Clock (14/1), Raymond Tusk (18/1), Hiroshima (40/1)

SIR RON PREISTLEY has a 19-month absence to overcome, but he was most progressive in 2019, culminating with an excellent second to Logician in the St Leger, and should prove hard to beat if anywhere near that level on this return to action. Ocean Wind and Win O'Clock were both going the right way last year and are feared most.
