Opposites Attract (2/1), Longhouse Poet (10/3), The Big Dog (4/1), Vis Ta Loi (11/2), Run Wild Fred (13/2), Mr Hendricks (16/1), Great Trango (66/1), Face The Odds (80/1)

OPPOSITES ATTRACT has the best chasing form and looks capable of improvement trying this sort of trip for the first time, so he's marginally preferred to Longhouse Poet, who has a disappointing run to put behind him. The Big Dog is another one to consider.
