Ice Cool Champs (3/1), Diamond Fort (5/1), Raven's Tower (6/1), Carnspindle (13/2), Zeroeshadesofgrey (8/1), Zig Zag (8/1), Canton Prince (9/1), Querry Horse (9/1), Boyhood (14/1), Little Bruce (14/1), Reverant Cust (16/1), General Mahler (16/1), Boruma (33/1), Minstrel Royal (50/1)

Several of these appeal in a competitive finale, but the two most unexposed contenders are Diamond Fort and ICE COOL CHAMPS. Both may well be ahead of the handicapper and the selection particularly so given he has so few miles on the clock. General Mahler may be fragile, but has talent, while the best of those at the higher end of the weights could be Carnspindle who may resume her progress this season.
