Affettuoso (5/6), Archers Bay (2/1), Koala Rose (2/1), Eze Sur Mer (17/2), Shangri La (10/1), Wedonttellthetruth (33/1), Joyful Lawyer (33/1), Manbearpig (80/1)

Ralph Beckett's Australia filly KOALA ROSE is bred to be well above average so is taken to make a winning start here at the chief expense of Marco Botti's new recruit Archers Bay who bring some fair form to the table from Ireland. Shangri La looks to have more to offer and can also have a say in this fair novice.
