Choisaanada (10/3), Confederate (10/3), Callmegetrix (4/1), Atticus Finch (7/1), Rodeo Drive (11/1), Busstopinhounslow (16/1), Aristotle (16/1), Otto Luyken (18/1), Spumante Dolce (18/1), Imilenzeyokududuma (22/1), Pomodoro's Jet (22/1), Musical Score (25/1), Anfields Rocket (40/1), Texas Red (40/1), Zinovi (50/1), Barbaresco (50/1)
