Dark Street (4/1), Lily Of The Glen (4/1), Gemini Man (5/1), Celtic Revival (11/2), Evening Verse (17/2), Happaugue (9/1), Bringsty (12/1), Call Me Rocky (14/1), Mephisto (16/1), Innamorare (18/1), Stardayz (20/1), Mr Mills (22/1), Final Fantasy (40/1), Cryptos Dream (66/1), Hibernicus (100/1), Anjah (100/1), Mornington Bay (125/1)

GEMINI MAN is on the up and was unlucky not to win when beaten by Lily of The Glen over C&D 23 days ago, so he's fancied to reverse form with that rival and open his account. Dark Street found only one too good last time despite pulling hard, so he's likely to make his presence felt again.
