Crest of Fire (10/3), Blue Courvoisier (10/3), Spell Master (4/1), Boyfriend (13/2), El Matador (7/1), Point Of Contact (8/1), Shafdar (17/2), Thunder Wonder (9/1), Real Gain (12/1), Ammes (12/1), Alpha Crucis (14/1), Nostrum (25/1), Sweet Reward (40/1), Great Chieftain (40/1), Rock Of Cashel (40/1), Thinthread (80/1), Alcaraz (80/1), First Ambition (150/1)

Although BLUE COURVOISIER has gained both his wins on stiff tracks his enthusiastic style should lend itself even better to a speed-favouring course such as this one and he gets the vote from a handy stall. Fellow 3-y-o Crest of Fire hasn't fared quite so well with the draw but is still feared most ahead of Spell Master and Thunder Wonder.
