Queen Guanhumara (3/1), Syrena (9/2), Gatsby Cap (9/2), Meryems Way (5/1), Chamrousse (7/1), Nakakande (8/1), Feather Step (8/1), Paris Duvet (9/1), A Step Too Far (10/1), Cactus Tree (10/1), Hummingbird (12/1), Last Judgment (14/1), Jered Maddox (14/1), Libras Power (16/1), Will Be King (16/1), Boughtinthedark (20/1), Born In The U S A (20/1), Rhosgobel (20/1), Dillygass (33/1), Early Voice (33/1), Stocai Ban (33/1)

Both MERYEMS WAY and Gatsby Cap are thriving, but the former may be slightly better suited by this trip, and is taken to gain a third win of the season at the expense of Monday's Gowran winner. Feather Step is a well-bred handicap debutante in excellent hands, and is one to note in the betting for signs of confidence, a comment which applies also to A Step Too Far.
