Note To Self (11/4), Star Major (3/1), Jan Van Goyen (9/2), Viva's Liberte (13/2), Happy Verse (7/1), Hazy Dazy (11/1), Chronicle King (14/1), Malmesbury Missile (22/1), Master Spy (50/1), World Of Royalty (80/1), Diogenes (100/1)

JAN VAN GOYEN can land the feature race. Note To Self is tough to ignore, while Chronicle King is another with a place chance at least.
