Battle Of Shiloh (3/1), Monbeg Charmer (7/2), Relentless Dreamer (5/1), Ballykan (13/2), Thomas Brown (8/1), Will O'The West (17/2), Marcilhac (9/1), It's A Gimme (14/1), Still Believing (33/1)

The likes of It's A Gimme, Ballykan and THOMAS BROWN appeal as being well treated on historical form. The latter has dropped below his last winning mark and has a good record in this grade. This track has characteristics that could bring out the best in him and he is taken to account for Relentless Dreamer who signalled a return to form last time. Marcilhac goes well here and can turn around recent form with Monbeg Charmer.
