Sapa Inca (4/1), Never Do Nothing (9/2), Boerhan (9/2), Vivid Diamond (6/1), Zuba (13/2), Rowland Ward (13/2), Asian Angel (7/1), Aspire Tower (11/1), Sophosc (16/1), Yellow Tiger (20/1), Grey D'Ars (20/1), Amber Spark (22/1)

If NEVER DO NOTHING gets a decent pace to aim at, he could be the one to beat after a respectable run over C&D last time out. Sophosc is interesting now stepped up in trip while improver Vivid Diamond holds each-way claims.
