La Fritillaire (5/2), Dan Emmett (3/1), Tuscan Gold (6/1), Rock On Bollinski (8/1), Waterclock (9/1), Madam Lilibet (10/1), Riptide (14/1), Gran Paradiso (16/1), Needless Shouting (20/1), Duc de Seville (150/1)
Even with the ground riding good this is going to be a stiff test of stamina and there must be a doubt about some of these staying. Dan Emmett is of interest having run well on his only similar start on the level and La Fritillaire is the one in the field capable of some real improvement although her stamina has yet to be tested. The Hammond yard has a good record in the race and he has three representatives here with the best very much looking to be TUSCAN GOLD a very sound second here last time out and a winner over further when hurdling.
