Cargin Bhui (5/6), Bibendum (5/1), Betties Bay (15/2), Royal Musketeer (15/2), Sioux Warrior (12/1), Early Release (12/1), Good Earth (14/1), Buraback (18/1), Fletchers Dream (22/1), Initial Blue (33/1), Dark Sun (33/1), Spirited Dancer (40/1)

Though BETTIES BAY's wellbeing has to be taken on trust following a 14-month absence, she makes her debut for the shrewd James Owen yard on a potentially handy mark and the hint should be taken if the market speaks in her favour. She may have most to fear from Cargin Bhui, with Royal Musketeer third on the list ahead of Buraback.
