Star Of Orion (11/4), Glenfinnan (7/2), Bajan Bandit (15/2), Modesty (8/1), Darkness (17/2), Bless Him (17/2), Accidental Agent (17/2), Catch The Paddy (16/1), Chartwell House (18/1), Bass Player (33/1)
A really competitive affair, with the in-form STAR OF ORION fancied to continue his good spell having held his form admirably in defeat since scoring on the July Course here in the summer. Veteran Accidental Agent ran well in the Bunbury Cup and wasn't beaten too far at Chepstow next time, so is another to merit consideration. Bajan Bandit is fractionally the most appealing of the 3-y-os and he can complete the placings.
