Freedom Square (5/1), Toor General (5/1), Bell Of The Ball (6/1), Persian Wind (13/2), King Of Aran (7/1), Bective Cave (7/1), Aurora's Dream (7/1), Ciaoifsin (8/1), Rapid Fritz (9/1), Eric The Third (10/1), Island Villa (10/1), Eight And Bob (11/1), Canova (20/1)
A chance is taken that BELL OF THE BALL has a bit more to offer and she gets the nod to add to her tally. Support for either Persian Wind and Freedom Square would be dangerous to ignore and make plenty of appeal as each-way options, while last year's winner Aurora's Dream comes here after a similar build up and is also worth a check in the betting.
