Delta Romeo (3/1), Circles (10/3), Woodrow (9/2), Fox Leicester (7/1), Cometh The Man (8/1), Bronze River (10/1), Chica Power (11/1), Indiana Grey (14/1), Amazing One (14/1), Markievicz (18/1), Form Of Praise (20/1), Qaabil (20/1), Beleaguerment (20/1), Lady Liza (25/1), Red Cymbal (28/1), Step Back In Time (40/1), Stamp Of Authority (66/1)

CIRCLES was just behind the reopposing Delta Romeo when fourth over C&D last time but looked unlucky not to finish closer and might ensure Gerard O'Leary's charge has to settle for the runner-up spot again. Fox Leicester has a bit of class for this level and is another likely to have a say.
