First Connection (9/4), Thefastnthecurious (11/4), Kehailaan (10/3), Pledge Of Honour (5/1), Pistoletto (13/2), Abrag (9/1), Bay Of Naples (12/1)

THEFASTNTHECURIOUS is still unexposed and she ran very well on handicap debut in a competitive Sandown race last month. She should have more to offer and looks the one to beat. Abrag has joined a yard having a good season and he could have more to offer up in trip. Pledge of Honour isn't out of it either.
