Fairway To Heaven (7/2), Dark Side Dream (4/1), Handsome Dude (9/2), Bahamian Dollar (15/2), Merdon Castle (8/1), Buccaneers Vault (8/1), Fujin (12/1), Newstead Abbey (14/1), Gramercy (25/1), Extrasolar (125/1)

A competitive race which is again likely to see Dark Side Dream competitive, while Fairway To Heaven is also weighted to go close, particularly if breaking away on terms. It would be no surprise to see a better effort from the potentially well-treated Bahamian Dollar but it may pay to take a chance on another potential improve in the shape of BUCCANEERS VAULT who is better than he showed on his stable debut and who gets the assistance of Paul Hanagan. 1.
