Valence D'Aumont (7/2), Siege Of Acres (7/2), Tom Creen (4/1), Benefit Ben (4/1), Park Rules (9/1), Song Of Earth (10/1), El Muchacho (11/1), Imperial Rule (16/1), Paramaribo (40/1), Ballydangan (40/1), Quickasican (50/1)

Dropping back into what's effectively a 0-100, BENEFIT BEN looks worth another chance. Siege of Acres is feared most following a promising chase debut.
