White Caviar (2/1), The Very Man (9/2), War Correspondent (9/2), Oh So Lovely (6/1), Drop The Anchor (13/2), Forever And Always (7/1), Zawahir (9/1), Marvelosa (14/1), Mighty Mo Missouri (25/1), Diamond Union (40/1), Fire Coral (50/1), Roman Song (66/1), Theodulus (66/1), Fenomeno (80/1), Moon In The West (80/1), Sir Lovealot (100/1), Picture Of You (100/1)

WHITE CAVIAR showed ability on debut at Gowran in July and stepped up on that when finding just one too good in a Bellewstown maiden next time. She remains open to improvement and is taken to strike for the bang in-form Joseph O'Brien yard. Useful hurdler The Very Man made a promising belated debut on the Flat when runner-up at Tramore last month and he is feared most. Zawahir also commands respect, along with Aidan O'Brien's representatives Forever And Always and Oh So Lovely.
