Alwajd (5/6), Mc'ted (7/2), Miss Bluebelle (15/2), Dream Harder (9/1), Aldabra (12/1), Donna Italiana (20/1), Away Wit Da Fairys (25/1), Cap D'Antibes (33/1), Anglesey Abbey (33/1), Robertthebruce (40/1), Salve Japan (80/1), Our Noble Lord (80/1), Overstate (100/1), Camerata (100/1)

ALWAJD has really upped her game since stepping beyond 1m and is taken to complete the hat-trick. Miss Bluebelle, Dream Harder and Mc'ted are a trio of potential threats.
