Ice Star (4/1), Alabama Anna (4/1), Meet The Captain (9/2), Feather The Nest (13/2), Raining Rubies (15/2), Dancing Dora (8/1), Risky Business (10/1), Mix The Magic (12/1), Gimme The Flame (25/1), Micke's Bomb (25/1), Blindedbythelights (28/1), Benguela Cove (28/1), Blue Waters (33/1), Prayuponastar (33/1), Splendid Season (40/1), Miss Soho (50/1)

Verdict

ICE STAR was a shade disappointing when favourite last time out, but is worth another chance. Meet The Captain looks the most dangerous rival, while Feather The Nest demands respect as well.
