Eachtotheirown (6/4), Sine Qua Non (7/4), Spinningayarn (10/3), Dream Diamond (15/2), Shabra Diya (33/1), Mount Mason (40/1), Times A Wastin (150/1), Amy's Quest (200/1)

A couple of big owners are represented with point winners here, with SINE QUA NON and Spinningayarn likely to fight it out. The former was most impressive and takes marginal preference, while Dream Diamond isn't completely dismissed on the back of a good second over hurdles.
