Golden Spangle (15/8), Fendi (7/1), Rio Largo (9/1), Elmo Lincoln (10/1), Cherry Pink (10/1), Water Mint (10/1), Summer Snow (11/1), Happenstance (12/1), Bang Po (16/1), Drop The Dip (16/1), Samhradh (18/1), Andrassy (20/1), Jackie Brown (20/1), Miss Langmore (25/1), Red Shield (28/1), Ahsuruknowurself (50/1), Fast Trek (50/1), Perfectlikethemoon (50/1)

GOLDEN SPANGLE upped her game when an excellent third at the Curragh 3 days ago and the longer trip promises to suit so, provided the race doesn't come too soon, she could take all the beating. Cherry Pink and Happenstance look the main dangers.
