Good Heavens (11/5), Nusret (5/2), Sundial (4/1), Impero (6/1), Calico (8/1), Komedy Kicks (14/1), Morning Soldier (16/1), Mister Wilson (33/1), Theonewedreamof (40/1), Gig Harbor (66/1), Dubai Clover (100/1), Eagles Perch (100/1), Nawraq (125/1), Avacian (150/1), Adhuil (150/1), Crafty Gael (200/1)

GOOD HEAVENS has shown useful form on the Flat and should take the beating if he takes to hurdling at the first attempt. His stablemate Nusret ranks as a danger and Impero is the pick of those with experience in this discipline.
