Midnight Stagger (4/1), Eric Lock (5/1), Katie Ross (11/2), Annie Lavinia (15/2), Admirador (10/1), Movin And Groovin (10/1), Boutella (10/1), Therussiancomposer (12/1), Zaraahmando (14/1), Senior Montecristo (16/1), Brigid's Cloak (20/1), Sassy Sox (25/1), Handmedownmybible (25/1), Hooz In Court (25/1), Bamako (28/1), Admiral Halsey (40/1), Escorpio (50/1)

MIDNIGHT STAGGER displayed improved form when runner-up at Down Royal a month ago and with that up there with the most persuasive form on offer, he looks the way to go from a handy draw. Eric Lock ought to be a factor from his current mark, with Annie Lavinia a potential improver now tackling a nursery.
