Sinoria (5/2), Calicojack (11/4), Invincible Cave (5/1), Kalum River (11/2), Trappist Monk (8/1), Rakhine State (16/1), Holycross Lito (20/1), Billy Kimber (20/1), Getaway North (25/1), Mandy's Quine (33/1), Oscar Light (40/1), James Boru (50/1), Howaya Aoife (50/1), Kearney (50/1), Walking In Memphis (50/1), Pegase Amour (50/1), Galardo (50/1), Florence Bay (66/1), Arizengo (66/1), Bellaney Gem (66/1)

This may be within the compass of CALICOJACK, who edged out Sinoria last time and looks the more progressive at this stage. Holycross Lito has a long absence to overcome but this lacks strength in depth so may be up to the task if fully wound up. Kalum River and Invincible Cave are others to consider for a place in the frame.
