Encanto Bruno (1/2), Dutch Schultz (10/3), Finans Bay (13/2), Fameaftertheglory (7/1), Now Is The Hour (8/1), Baby Chou (16/1), Maple Meadow (20/1), Pahlavi (33/1), Lets Do This (33/1), The Border Boy (33/1), Fox Leicester (50/1), Ivasecret (50/1), Six Ace (50/1), Longagoanfarbehind (66/1), Walkonthebriteside (80/1), Atreides (100/1), Oneforgonzo (125/1), Victory Star (150/1), Riqaaby (150/1)

ENCANTO BRUNO displayed more than his share of ability in bumpers so assuming he takes to hurdling, he's up to winning this. Fameaftertheglory and Dutch Schultz may give the selection most to think about.
