Notable Speech (9/4), Ten Bob Tony (3/1), Lake Forest (6/1), Zavateri (8/1), Flora Of Bermuda (9/1), Satono Reve (12/1), Marvelman (18/1), Rogue Diplomat (18/1), Paborus (22/1), Puerto Rico (28/1), Power Blue (33/1), Native Warrior (33/1), Powerful Glory (40/1), Lifeplan (66/1)

With plenty of pace in the field, this could set up perfectly for NOTABLE SPEECH to claim a sixth top-level success. Lake Forest is arguably a better horse than when second in this corresponding event 12 months ago, and he's feared along with Rogue Diplomat, who shaped very well when just a neck behind him in the Lennox. Ten Bob Tony is enjoying a fine season and deserves a place on the shortlist for this fascinating renewal.
