Walk Away (10/3), Doctor Duffy (5/1), Aforementioned (6/1), Chavi Artist (8/1), Moyhenna (10/1), The West's Awake (10/1), Internal Transfer (11/1), Roaring Bull (18/1), Mortal (18/1), Portmore Lough (20/1), Mindsmadeup (20/1), Blast Of Koeman (20/1), Westerner Point (25/1), Scoir Mear (25/1), Bay Hill (25/1), Gwencily Berbas (33/1), Black Scorpion (33/1), Ah Littleluck (40/1)

A case can be made for several, but CHAVI ARTIST was back to his very best when runner-up to Doctor Duffy and can be considered unlucky not to have finished closer given he got shuffled back at a crucial stage. He may reverse the form on these terms and looks the value play in the race. Moyhenna arrives in top form too, while a slog over this trip will be right up Roaring Bull's street.
