Dalamoi (11/4), Nassalam (3/1), Major Dundee (7/1), Two For Gold (8/1), Fern Hill (9/1), Cyclop (9/1), Dr Kananga (10/1), Wayfinder (11/1), Fortescue (12/1), Rapper (14/1), Not Sure (14/1), Quel Destin (16/1), Shan Blue (20/1), Pats Fancy (28/1)
TWO FOR GOLD is the class act in this field and if he's in the same form as he was on return he'll be the one to beat. Nassalam is a big danger having shaped well on his reappearance and Cyclop should give another good account.
