Rose Tree (9/2), Taste The Wine (6/1), Ice Konig (6/1), Gi Jayne (13/2), Clearly Capable (7/1), Beau Phil (7/1), The Kid (8/1), Scorpion Star (9/1), Ladies Dancing (9/1), Petrify (12/1), Aaryam (14/1), Millen Dollar Man (20/1), Definite Ridge (33/1), La Madrina (40/1), Scenic Star (50/1), Auldthunder (50/1), Spanish Optimist (100/1)

As trappy a selling hurdle as you could wish to find, and cases can be made for plenty. The market will be as good a guide as any, particularly to the chances of the likes of Aaryam, Definite Ridge and The Kid but preference at this stage is for ROSE TREE, who may yet find a bit of improvement for a change of yard and ran as if there was more to come last time. Top weight Beau Phil and Taste The Wine are a bit more reliable than most and should go well. Scorpion Star has plenty of risk with him but he could be capable of bouncing back too.
