Hareth (10/3), Benkei (7/1), Broughtons Star (7/1), Peculiar Genius (8/1), Ballinahow Bill (10/1), The Irritator (10/1), Bashful Beauty (11/1), Courtly Conduct (12/1), Canova (12/1), Next Bend (16/1), Ardview Boy (16/1), Fenlon's Hill (16/1), Kinnitty Castle (16/1), Emily Square (20/1), Russian Roulette (25/1), Hidden Diamond (33/1)

A fair few of these would look unlikely winners of most races on their current form, but one who has been running well recently is BROUGHTONS STAR. Gordon Elliott's charge has gone close on a number of occasions recently, and as long as he doesn't cause another mishap and end up with yet another letter on his form line, he could be the one to beat here. Despite his advancing years, Courtly Conduct has also been running some nice races recently, while Hareth has made a pleasing return from a long lay-off and should now be back in a position to go close in a race of this nature.
