Ruacana (13/8), Bonne Question (11/2), The Gipper (11/2), Hier Encore (7/1), Shaw's Cross (9/1), Nelson's Touch (9/1), Deebaj (12/1), Ghost Serge (16/1), Sky Full Of Stars (50/1)

Plenty of those declared are seeking to build positively upon their recent comeback runs, and in truth there isn't an obvious standout contender from that particular cohort. Meanwhile, last year's winner The Gipper sports cheekpieces on his return from wind surgery. Therefore, the risk-free option is the hat-trick seeking RUACANA who made plenty of headlines when winning for late stand-in rider Racheal Kneller over C&D (heavy) a fortnight ago.
