Elzaal (4/1), Catch Cunningham (13/2), Ernest Rutherford (13/2), Zuffolo (7/1), Saaheq (8/1), Runninwild (8/1), Dark Kestrel (9/1), Let's Go Hugo (12/1), J R Cavagin (12/1), Sugar Baby (14/1), Never This Way (16/1), Azucena (25/1), Sound Of Iona (25/1), Modular Magic (40/1)

The vote goes to ELZAAL, who shaped well when runner-up over C&D back from a break in February. He failed to build on that back here next time but it was a respectable effort nonetheless and he's currently 3 lb below his last winning mark. Saaheq could be the one to follow him home, while Azucena and Catch Cunningham are others to consider.
