Purple Ice (10/3), We Still Believe (4/1), Lord Torranaga (4/1), Coconut Bay (9/2), Oscar Doodle (13/2), Tafsir (9/1), Thomas Cranmer (12/1), Recorwoman (12/1)

WE STILL BELIEVE opened his account for the year over C&D in March, and with his latest effort easily excused (finished lame), Daragh Bourke's charge is fancied to regain the winning thread. Oscar Doodle needs to put a below-par effort behind him, but he may emerge as the main danger after a break, with Lord Torranaga rounding off the shortlist.
