Bothar Dubh (11/8), Gipsy Lee Rose (9/2), Scotch Quay (5/1), Popong (6/1), Mutadaffeq (7/1), Colour Me In (16/1), Challow (33/1)

The ease of her debut win seemed to catch connections of POPONG unawares but she looked a class act and it will be interesting to see if she can back that up now. Scotch Quay is in excellent form and should run his race again while the front-running Gipsy Lee Rose should give her supporters a run for their money.
