Cameletta Vega (8/11), Arctic Piper (5/1), The Diddler (6/1), Clever Minded (11/1), Dancing Dame (16/1), Hello Yes (20/1), Joshua's Daylami (22/1), Ballintemple Lady (33/1), Parga Diamond (40/1), Miss Dishy (40/1), Left Turn (50/1), Crossbar Getaway (66/1), Is She Now (66/1), Heading South (66/1), Shining Silver (80/1), Miss Bernese (100/1), Doyen Og (250/1), Heure Exacte (250/1), Blossomfort Glen (250/1)

CAMELETTA VEGA is closely related to a couple of talented sorts and is likely to follow in their footsteps by making a winning start. Arctic Piper and Dancing Dame are probably the most appealing pair in terms of what's been achieved, but they're liable to be outclassed by the selection.
