Minella Crooner (8/13), State Of Honor (5/2), Carrig Crua (9/1), Gekkota (11/1), Gaelic Arc (40/1), Elusive Specimen (50/1)

This doesn't look the strongest of bumpers, so MINELLA CROONER, a £70,000 purchase from the pointing field, may not need to be anything out of the ordinary to maintain his unbeaten record on this switch to Rules. State of Honour is feared most ahead of Gekkota.
