Alpine Stroll (7/4), Cemhaan (16/5), Koeman (4/1), Spirit Mixer (4/1), Vina Bay (10/1), Grand Scheme (12/1), Champs De Reves (50/1)

Trappy stuff, with GRAND SCHEME chanced to make a winning return for the second season running. He's not had much racing over this sort of trip and should pay his way again this term. Spirit Mixer and Koeman are a couple of others to consider.
