Onewaywest (11/4), George's Lad (18/5), Hamsiyann (11/2), Believitanducan (6/1), Kap Boy (15/2), Surrey Lord (9/1), King Of The Road (12/1), North Lodge (14/1), Jus De Citron (18/1), Emailandy (28/1), Paso Doble (28/1)

Plenty of possibilities in a competitive finale. ONEWAYWEST had winners behind him at Wetherby and might be able to defy the handicapper and make it 3-3 for the campaign. Believitanducan is another with a progressive profile and heads the many dangers along with Hamsiyann and George's Lad.
