Imperial Ruler (15/8), Faron (3/1), Dixie Flyer (7/2), Mind Your Money (6/1), Must Meet Cecil (14/1), Dartington (16/1), Sawbuck (16/1), Canteeny Benny (33/1), Magical Lips (50/1), Cruisin Susan (125/1)

FARON holds the clear edge on the form of his Kilbeggan victory and with more improvement in the pipeline he is hard to side against. Imperial Ruler also has better days ahead of him and is rated next best ahead of Tipperary-scorer Must Meet Cecil.
