Marracudja (11/4), Contre Tous (10/3), Baby King (4/1), Solar Impulse (5/1), Chain Of Beacons (13/2), Ink Master (10/1), King's Wharf (16/1)
Solar Impulse is capable of winning off this mark but tends to find at least one too good for him these days, while his former stable companion Marracudja looks best ridden prominently and may face competition for the lead from Ink Master. Contre Tous, another former Nicholls performer, would be interesting if the market spoke in his favour and Chain Of Beacons is respected under his top pilot, but BABY KING looks the one most open to improvement and that could be forthcoming following his wind operation.
