Nothingelsematters (15/8), William Iron Arm (5/2), We Are The Logans (4/1), Gregor Macgregor (9/1), Luthuli (11/1), Rattle Bag (14/1), Oyster King (14/1), Della's Sword (20/1), Parker Getrix (20/1), Arden Park (25/1), English Primrose (28/1), Batik (33/1), Let There Be Light (33/1), Tree Fairy (40/1), Storm Jewel (40/1), Skyfull (50/1), Da Capo (50/1)

WILLIAM IRON ARM has a very good chance on form and is quite a confident selection. We Are The Logans could give the selection most to think about, while Nothingelsematters has a good shout of a share of the minor money.
