Alaadel (2/1), African Friend (9/2), Mullionheir (5/1), Ninjago (6/1), Glenamoy Lad (8/1), Cool Bahamian (10/1), Duke Cosimo (10/1), Perfect Symphony (11/1), North Creek (12/1), Harwoods Volante (12/1), Red Tycoon (12/1), Cappananty Con (14/1), Outer Space (20/1), Plucky Dip (25/1), Peter Park (33/1), Picket Line (33/1), Drop Kick Murphi (50/1)

A tricky finale in which a case can be made for many. AFRICAN FRIEND is less exposed than most and he looks the one to beat with the form of his Windsor victory working out well. Duke Cosimo has place claims off an attractive mark and Mullionheir is worth a check in the market. Glenamoy Lad and Allaadel are other possibiliities.
