Faivoir (4/6), Kakamora (5/2), Poniente (8/1), Mister Watson (17/2), Malpas (14/1), Osprey Call (20/1), Amanofhisword (33/1), Translink (40/1), Passing Secrets (200/1), King Frank (200/1), Scripted Destiny (200/1), Williamdeconqueror (250/1), Iron Port (250/1), Minnie Mahler (250/1)

FAIVOIR hasn't looked totally straightforward but there's no doubt he has plenty of ability and he should be up to defying a penalty in a race of this nature. Kakamora was much improved when second over C&D last month and is the main threat with further progress on the cards.
