Joli Travail (2/1), William Butler (3/1), Jazz De Cotte (3/1), Ludovico Sforza (6/1), Sporting Glance (6/1), Coded Welder (28/1), Mister Frostie (33/1), Bob The Builder (33/1), Stickman (33/1), Tippawan Haa (40/1), Larkfield Lidaho (66/1), Barnwick (80/1), Jetovango (80/1), Iceteem Flechois (125/1), Tinking Man (125/1), North Account (250/1), Twelve Tribes (300/1)
This trip should very much play to the strengths of JAZZ DE COTTE who can go one better than on his last 2 outings. His stablemate William Butler may provide the main threat unless the betting suggests that Joli Travail is expected to step up a good deal on last month's comeback run at Killarney.
