Top Coeur (2/1), The Wager (9/4), Santo Sospir (4/1), Lord Tobin (5/1), Cholo (12/1), Tradonthebay (14/1), Hillstar Blues (33/1)

Gordon Elliott has won the last 4 runnings of this bumper so it's probably best to narrow this down to his pair SANTO SOSPIR and Lord Tobin, with narrow preference for the former before any betting clues are known. Top Coeur is another newcomer from a good stable.
