Bard Of Avon (1/1), Lucy English (2/1), Irfaans Boy (7/2), Captain Morisco (5/1), Ecstatic Green (10/1), Constable (14/1), Kaptein Martiens (40/1)

LUCY ENGLISH has a significant edge on form and will be very tough to beat. Bard Of Avon has to come into the equation for a place too, while Ecstatic Green is one to bear in mind too.
