Mercy Mercy Me (8/11), Mcnamaras Band (11/4), Glen Vine (4/1), Sainlouis Des Pres (14/1), Karabunga Dude (16/1), Connect Four (33/1), I'm A Starman (66/1), Jumpsuit (66/1), Beau Haze (100/1), Phoenix Song (100/1), Crindle Carr (100/1)

Two of the runners (on form) stand head and shoulders above the rest of the field with MERCY MERCY ME given a narrow vote over McNamaras Band on the back of a return from a wind operation, with cheekpieces on for the first-time and a noticeable drop in grade. It’s hard to fault the form of McNamaras Band so far especially as it’s been gained over C&D and he’s the main danger. Glen Vine, Karabunga Dude and Sainlouis Des Pres are a trio of others who are worth keeping an eye on in the market and race.
