Bal De Rio (7/2), Coventry (7/2), Barbary Master (4/1), Benz (13/2), Custers Mistake (15/2), Forest Pump (10/1), My Manekineko (11/1), Eagle Terrace (12/1), Repeat That (20/1), Massons Castle (22/1), Latest Model (25/1), Knock On Steel (40/1), Saddle In The Rain (100/1)

The in-form BAL DE RIO looks the most reliable option. Gordon Elliott's pair Benz and Coventry have become disappointing but are feared on these terms.
