Still Standing (5/2), Arthurian Fame (11/4), Lethal Power (5/1), Aztec Eagle (8/1), Tremendous Leap (11/1), New Direction (12/1), Alcatraz (12/1), Tirmizi (12/1), Sheila's Hope (14/1), Tennessee Wildcat (18/1), Elm Grove (20/1), Important Message (33/1), California Lad (33/1)

Early speed in the initial part of the race is expected to come from Shelia's Hope and Lethal Power. The pace will be ideal for the Jessica Harrington-trained STILL STANDING to win his third race of the campaign following on from a slight hiccup at the Curragh earlier this month. Tremedous Leap, who has ben solid and consistent all season and Jim Bolger's New Direction can both go well at a price.
