Kalpana (10/11), Minnie Hauk (4/1), Johanna Walsh (5/1), Legacy Link (12/1), Earth Shot (20/1), Inis Mor (20/1), Sparan Nua (25/1), Tattycoram (25/1), Sugar Island (100/1)
If KALPANA can reproduce the high-class form she achieved when winning the King George she'll be a very tough nut to crack. Last year's winner Minnie Hauk is a lot better than she showed in the King George and will likely get much closer here but it could still be that the chief threat comes from progressive 3-y-o Johanna Walsh, so impressive in the Irish Oaks last time.
