Current Option (7/4), Craster (4/1), High Commissioner (5/1), Good Birthday (10/1), Sezim (12/1), Tigerskin (12/1), Babbo's Boy (16/1), State Of Affair (20/1), Qarasu (25/1), Bartimaeus (33/1), Youarestar (50/1), Gamba (50/1), Mostawaa (100/1), Ede's (100/1), Enhanced (100/1)

Craster seemed to really enjoy the quicker conditions on his second start and may need the ground to dry significantly to be at his very best, however he really did improve from his debut. In contrast GOOD BIRTHDAY may not want it too quick but would have won with a clear run on his second start and has to rate as the leading contender off the back of it. Current Option caught the eye staying on strongly on debut and rates the main danger. Sezim is the pick of the newcomers.
