Elle Est Beau (9/4), Lord Of All Saints (3/1), Stardhem (9/2), Inchiquin Spirit (8/1), Hiero Sport (9/1), Definite Dream (12/1), Broomfield Gale (12/1), Three Zambezi's (28/1), Jimmyjeroo (33/1), Joker Jack (33/1), Dom Bosco (40/1), Complete Fantasy (80/1), That's The Badger (80/1)

A very trappy opening contest and plenty have decent claims. STARDHEM may well be able to dominate from the front here and can register another win for the red-hot Ben Pauling yard. Lord of All Saints is feared having caught the eye with the way he moved through the race when breaking his duck last time. The expensive to follow Elle Est Beau cannot be discounted on her best form while handicap-debutant Joker Jack could prove to be better than his opening mark in time.
