Orion's Belt (5/6), Italica (10/3), Penhallam (11/2), Ajuda Road (17/2), Spirit Of Saxony (12/1), French Affair (18/1), Dublin Bay (18/1), Dark Mandate (18/1), Golden Brown (22/1), Berkshire Boom (28/1), First Time (66/1)

ITALICA holds the clear edge on form so is taken to get off the mark unless Ralph Beckett's newcomer Ajuda Road proves well above average. Penhallam, French Affair and Dark Mandate can also have a say and need factoring in too.
