Dequall (9/4), Alkopop (7/2), Morozov Cocktail (4/1), Behindthelines (17/2), Dubai Devils (9/1), Prince Dundee (10/1), Mance Rayder (10/1), Grey Atlantic Way (16/1), Another Emotion (20/1), Nakadam (25/1), Seaston Spirit (40/1)

Though untried beyond 25f, stamina is clearly DUBAI DEVILS' strong suit and the Irish raider is expected to relish this marathon trip. He is marginally preferred to Alkopop, who is comparatively unexposed over fences and also shapes as though this trip will be within his range. Prince Dundee goes well here and also enters calculations, along with Another Emotion.
