Viva Verglas (9/4), Fortinbrass (11/4), Clergyman (10/3), Spowarticus (8/1), Cadeaux Pearl (9/1), Captain Joe (14/1), Misu Moneypenny (16/1), Hab Reeh (28/1)

FORTINBRASS is taken to collect his fifth C&D victory. A penalty for Viva Verglas who finished ahead of him last week swings this in his favour. The topweight should give another good account but looks set to find the weight concession beyond him. Scott Dixon has won the last two runnings of this and Spowarticus looks the captain of that team.
