Leap Abroad (4/1), King Of War (4/1), Sid's Annie (9/2), Sterling Knight (9/2), City Runner (8/1), Dalglish (11/1), Be Glorious (12/1), Keeping Hoping (14/1), Costa Adeje (16/1)

SID'S ANNIE has caught the eye on all 3 of her starts and her opening mark may underestimate her. There are plenty of other progressive 3-y-os in the line-up, notably Leap Abroad and Keeping Hoping.
