Canasta (5/2), Enzo (7/2), Manfadh (5/1), Chinese Alphabet (5/1), Elena (7/1), Better Than Ever (9/1), Global Rock (10/1), Celtic Artisan (11/1), Deleyll (11/1), King Oswald (12/1), Highwaygrey (12/1), Pilot Wings (20/1), Destinys Rock (50/1)

An open handicap where the betting can be a good guide to a handful of these. CANASTA is going the right way and is less exposed than a good number of the rest, so heads the shortlist; closely followed by the equally lightly weighted Chinese Alphabet who be be a player if handling the surface. Enzo is also highly respected and still has room to move from his current mark. Highwaygrey and Elena are others to monitor closely in the market.
