Katiymann (3/1), Tony The Gent (11/2), Aussie Valentine (6/1), De Coronado (6/1), Fountain (13/2), Canary Row (9/1), Adieux (10/1), Spruce Meadows (12/1), Turbine (16/1), Castle Guest (16/1), Beau Satchel (20/1), Lean And Keen (33/1), Misty Millie (50/1)
AUSSIE VALENTINE won off a higher mark than this a couple of years ago and has been running well in defeat since, he may be able to get his head back in front if he can build on his runner-up effort at Naas last time. Fountain was impressive over C&D last time and he's been given some relief by the handicapper so has to be of interest. Adieux always seems to run a nice race and should remain competitive with a feather weight and at the other end of the scale, Tony The Giant is worthy of his top-weight and should go well from a nice draw for a trainer who does well at this time of year. Castle Guest would have a good chance if he gets a clean break and is another who shouldn't be underestimated.
