Gracesolution (11/4), Maura's Gift (4/1), Arch Enemy (5/1), Nevada Brave (11/2), Chateau Musar (6/1), Rock Ya Boy Ya (9/1), Sky Legend (14/1), Carslake (25/1), Winterscape (28/1), Double Kodiac (40/1), Holding Aces (40/1), Vlad The Impaler (50/1)

ARCH ENEMY has shaped better than the bare result over an adequate trip here the last twice and is on handy mark stepping up in distance. Gracesolution and Nevada Brace head the dangers.
