Aegean Prince (1/1), Palazzo Blu (7/2), Mersea Island (6/1), Kentucky River (7/1), Kokanee (14/1), Hi Ya Mal (22/1), Ammes (25/1)

AEGEAN PRINCE rather leaps off the page as a Dubwai colt and the first foal of a smart mare at up to 1½m so he makes plenty of appeal on debut. Kentucky River is also bred to stay well and is in very capable hands, while Mersea Island will attempt to put his experience to good use.
