Johnny The Thief (5/6), Duke Of Africa (15/8), The Green Gallant (13/2), King Bavarian (9/1), Tiger Spring (14/1), Mighty Rain (50/1), Olympic Standard (50/1), Excalibur Calls (66/1), Kintamani (80/1)

JOHNNY THE THIEF's recent runs have had a lot to like about them and he should give backers a run for their money. Tiger Spring is tough to ignore where second place is concerned, while Duke Of Africa can win the battle for minor honours.
