Between Waters (11/8), Golden Ace (7/2), Politacus (15/2), Kay Tara Tara (17/2), J'ventile (10/1), Bethka (16/1), Mistral Milly (18/1), Our Nel (18/1), Birdhouse (20/1), Spring Gale (28/1), Chesky's In Milan (28/1), Inion Tiogair (33/1), Mighty Moth (40/1), Whispering Gold (150/1), Tara's Light (150/1)

POLITACUS is perhaps the percentage call on the back of her Uttoxeter near miss, although a strong market move for Nicky Henderson's point-winner Between Waters would put a slightly different slant on things. Kay Tara Tara may fare best of the previous winners, while Bethka and Our Nel are also respected after promising bumper debut efforts.
