I Feel Fine (9/4), Diamond Dollar (5/2), Kelly's Cosmos (9/2), Might Be The One (13/2), The Goose's Acre (13/2), Aleish Lass (10/1), She's On Line (10/1), Le Fanu (11/1), Donnrua Dream (12/1), Rebel Cowgirl (16/1), Another Ocana (16/1), Portetta (28/1), Kanpai (33/1), Opera Point (40/1), Uptaurintop (50/1), Scarlet Purse (50/1)
KELLY'S COSMOS would have gone closer had his jumping held up when it mattered here on Saturday and he's got to be high on the shortlist if turning out again back up in trip. Diamond Dollar could also face a quick turnaround, with a gamble on him having gone astray in the same race. The Goose's Acre and I Feel Fine are a couple of others to consider.
