Calandagan (1/4), Ethical Diamond (11/2), Giavellotto (16/1), Royal Power (20/1), West Wind Blows (33/1), By The Book (66/1)

Verdict

CALANDAGAN stands out on form and is remarkably consistent to boot, so can't really be opposed as he bids to extend his winning run at the top level, especially as his turn of foot means he shouldn't be overly inconvenienced if this becomes tactical. Giavellotto and Ethical Diamond are taken to chase him home.
