The Cola Brasil (10/3), Finsceal Annie (4/1), Velvet Skies (4/1), Liamo (11/2), Golden Days (7/1), Nikki Swango (9/1), Storm Eric (12/1), Atbay (16/1), Circles (25/1), Chestnutter (33/1), Butterfly Bush (40/1), Saxon Kingdom (50/1), Gianh River (50/1), Ascendent (100/1)

THE COLA BRASIL snuck up the inside when scoring a shade cosily over C&D last month and should make another bold bid from his low draw. Golden Days and Finsceal Annie head the dangers.
