Shantaluze (7/4), Not Normal (3/1), Flash The Steel (4/1), The Butcher Said (9/2), Arthur Mac (6/1), Twotwothree (12/1), Vamanos (20/1), A Little Chaos (28/1), Baddesley Prince (33/1), Hard To Forget (40/1), Lookforarainbow (40/1), Global Anchor (50/1), Mid Day Gun (66/1), Goodthyneaway (100/1), On Parole (100/1), Nellemani (200/1)

Shantaluze looks sure to be on the premises again after his facile win here last time out, but may find the concession of a penalty to FLASH THE STEEL just a bit too hard. The selection was second in a race that's already working out well, and looks the one to beat. The Butcher Said is a riskier proposition but if settling better, might well take a big step forward. Not Normal is the other that enters calculations and can't be discounted.
