Greydreambeliever (2/1), Greek Flower (9/2), Glory To Be (5/1), Varshini (13/2), Independent Expert (9/1), Pink Oxalis (14/1), Tahcawin (14/1), Rion Rubette (16/1), Alibah (18/1), Zous And Me (22/1), Gloriously Glam (40/1)

Verdict

The vote goes to GREYDREAMBELIEVER, who shaped really well when a clear second on debut for Joseph O'Brien here a fortnight ago. Varshini put in a good shift when a close third in a big-field handicap at the Curragh and is feared most ahead of Greek Flower and the selection's unexposed stablemate Alibah.
