Alabama (8/15), Valiant Force (3/1), Prestige Always (9/2), Branding (15/2), The Liffey (8/1), Mountain Bear (14/1), My Mate Alfie (22/1), Slurricane (50/1), Glor Alainn (100/1)
VALIANT FORCE has been highly tried on both of his starts but has shown plenty of ability in defeat and can take advantage of the drop in class. Alabama can be expected to leave his debut run well behind so rates the main threat ahead of Mythology, who fetched a tidy sum at the Breeze Ups.
