Kilmurvy (7/2), Gardiners Hill (9/2), Morney Wing (6/1), Indian Native (6/1), Travertine (7/1), Irish Octave (8/1), Ganbei (10/1), Running Wolf (10/1), Maybe Plenty (25/1), Amiral Collonges (33/1)

A chance is taken that KILMURVY can exploit his current lenient mark and stride out to the best of his reaming ability. The selection is capable at this level but comes with a caveat about his tendency to be inconsistent. Similar comments also apply to Running Wolf and Irish Octave, who don't have much to find to emerge as the best of the modest bunch who form the opposition. Support for Morney Wing making the frame could also be interesting.
