Blue Shadow (7/2), Time And Money (9/2), Dollar Value (13/2), Pin Your Hopes (7/1), Chateau Musar (10/1), Golden Valour (11/1), Fallen Forest (14/1), Tooreen Angel (14/1), Never Mistabeat (18/1), Dance Emperor (18/1), Effernock Fizz (25/1), Shamiyan (25/1), Afternoonwithsusan (33/1), Pearl Of The West (40/1), Quamino (50/1), Morning Skye (100/1)

CHATEAU MUSAR has a good record here and was unlucky not to finish closer when beaten over a length into fifth over C&D last time. He has since been dropped 2 lb so makes the most appeal. Pin Your Hopes and Dollar Value head the dangers.
