The Great Unknown (5/4), Razdan (11/4), Pallas Athene (3/1), Hey Whatever (6/1), The Flying Spur (8/1), Tina Meehan (12/1), Eco Pete (16/1), Mille Miglia (66/1), Kalsman (100/1)

THE GREAT UNKNOWN has made a promising start over hurdles and looks the way to go. Pallas Athene has a great chance on these terms in first-time cheekpieces although 4 consecutive defeats when sent off favourite tempers enthusiasm a bit. Stablemate Hey Whatever is another to note.
