Bonito Cavalo (15/8), He's An Angel (5/2), Westmorian (11/4), Rory (4/1), Hurt You Never (7/1), Ballyare (7/1), Ramon Di Loria (10/1), After John (10/1), Elladora (20/1), Naaser (22/1), Pub Talk (66/1)

BONITO CAVALO and He's An Angel are both going great guns and look set to fight out the finish. Marginal preference is for the former, who has predictably shot up the weights after winning five on the bounce but he clearly goes well here and probably has more to offer. Hurt You Never and Rory can do battle for minor honours.
