Chopsticks (4/1), Doctor Grace (4/1), Nika Pika (9/2), Flier (9/2), Gardone (5/1), Tyder (15/2), Master Garvey (8/1), Waystar (10/1), Higher Kingdom (10/1), Dynamite Defense (11/1), Man Is King (12/1), Cu Chulainn (14/1), Together Aclaim (16/1), Pegasus Of Harry (22/1), Lady Montse (66/1), Albion Princess (80/1)

CHOPSTICKS might be able to turn around recent C&D form with Flier, who should also go well again, and gain an overdue first career success. Doctor Grace and John McConnell's Waystar also make the shortlist.
