League Of His Own (1/1), Le Curieux (7/2), Dark Invader (8/1), Hurricane Rita (10/1), A Montmartre (14/1), Scrupuleux (16/1), Welsh Designe (16/1), Valshan Time (50/1), Opera Buffa (66/1)

Money for either Valshan Time or Dark Invader could well be significant and should be noted. Better is surely expected of the latter at some stage and he is respected. Hurricane Rita was just getting involved here when coming down four out last time and is a player. LE CURIEUX is so well handicapped though that he has to take advantage of that at some point and this is a weaker contest than the one he ran well in at Ffos Las last time.
