Cheers Again (7/2), Karlsberg (9/2), Comfort Line (9/2), Dunum (5/1), Cristal Clere (13/2), Princess Rajj (9/1), Eloquent Arthur (9/1), Fools Glory (9/1), Lord Vader (11/1), Plunkett (12/1), Marvelosa (14/1), Loingseoir (16/1), Sirjack Thomas (16/1), Eastern Wind (20/1), Whatharm (25/1)

This has a very open look to it but PRINCESS RAJJ looks ready for 1m and back on her last winning mark, she's certainly weighted to strike. A 6-month absence asks a question but she's in very good hands so she gets the vote in favour of Dunum and Cheers Again.
