The Fingal Raven (11/4), Ruler Of Time (4/1), Great Chieftain (6/1), Jolly Roger (6/1), Impressive Act (8/1), War Socks (10/1), One More (10/1), Chaldero (18/1), Made In Dubai (20/1), The Trickster (28/1), Inspired Idea (33/1), San Sebastian (40/1), Giustino (40/1), The Ice Phoenix (40/1), Silent Defense (80/1), Blue Trail (100/1)
THE FINGAL RAVEN has shown good form off similar marks and can take advantage of this slight drop in grade. Ruler Of Time is interesting now switched to handicaps, while Great Chieftain also needs a closer look.
