Byzantine Empire (7/2), Blooriedotcom (5/1), Saryshagann (11/2), The Navigator (13/2), The Dancing Poet (7/1), Spark Of Madness (10/1), Iolani (10/1), Zamond (12/1), Kensington Art (12/1), Evita Du Mesnil (14/1), Gemologist (16/1), Wor Verge (20/1), Leeswood Lily (25/1), Set In Stone (28/1), Beeno (50/1)

Plenty are in with a shout. SARYSHAGANN has yet to get his head in front in this sphere but is weighted to go close on the back of his excellent recent second here and gets a narrow vote. The Navigator wasn't seen to best effect when runner-up at Sedgefield last week and is feared most ahead of in-form duo Spark of Madness and Wor Verge.
