Eloi Du Puy (9/4), Jimmy Rabbitte (5/1), Prospect House (6/1), Wearelongterm (13/2), Game Beaaa (9/1), Balranald (11/1), Baby Jane (11/1), Farne Island (14/1), Red Missile (14/1), Snowed In (20/1), Out For The Count (25/1), Melvich Bay (66/1), Big Arthur (80/1)

The vote goes to ELOI DU PUY, who has shown more encouraging signs since venturing down the handicap route and this 5-y-o has more going for him than most of these. Game Beaaa will be a threat under Brian Hughes if the recent wind op has had the desired effect and Balranald is third choice, despite some doubts as to whether he will build on his latest effort.
