Lenjoleur De Palma (5/2), Donnrua Dream (7/1), Carlas Big Jim (7/1), Halsafari (15/2), Marelly (9/1), Crafty Gael (9/1), Minority Interest (11/1), Bohemian Bay (11/1), Free Flow (12/1), Malikanna (16/1), Crohan Lady (16/1), Something Noble (25/1), Dream Shaper (33/1), Scarlet Purse (66/1)

The vote goes to LENJOLEUR DE PALMA, who opened his account in good style over C&D in November and made a bold bid to follow up off a 9 lb higher mark back here in a listed handicap over Christmas. Another 3 lb nudge will ask a question of him but he clearly goes well at this track and the forecast heavy ground is another plus point. Halsafari and Carlas Big Jim rate the main dangers, though Malikanna is also of interest now handicapping.
