Eolian (11/4), Bolister (3/1), Haasab (7/2), Murchison River (13/2), For Jim (13/2), Bowie (7/1), Barnay (25/1), Mighty Mustang (33/1), Four Mile Beach (66/1), Biddy Be (66/1), Port Lairge (100/1)

With the greatest of respect to connections, this opening race features a number of horses who we can politely describe as 'characters'. Murchison River doesn't always deliver the goods off the bridle but has plenty of ability in the context of this race, so could prove a more straightforward proposition in the newly applied blinkers. Haasab remains feasibly handicapped, and it'll be no surprise if he's on the radar come the finish, whilst Bolister should find a race sooner or later for Gary Moore. However, the vote goes to EOLIAN who caught the eye with a strong late finishing effort at Huntingdon and could fare better still now stepping back up in trip.
