Qaabil (4/1), Chimeric (4/1), Barnhill Rose (5/1), Cherub Rock (5/1), Shawaf (7/1), Rose Of Malta (17/2), Indiana Grey (11/1), Skontonovski (12/1), Breezy Zoff (14/1), Rosie Rock (14/1), No Show (18/1), Nyla Rua (20/1), Beleaguerment (22/1), Stardayz (25/1), Accessory (33/1), Scream (40/1), Warp Speed (100/1)

CHIMERIC is a long-standing maiden but he didn't do a lot wrong when runner-up in a big-field handicap here last month and a repeat of that performance may well see him go one place better. Barnhill Rose and Cherub Rock are a couple of potential threats.
