Laurina (11/10), Fakir D'Oudairies (11/8), Notebook (7/1), Royal Rendezvous (20/1), Djingle (25/1)

Verdict

A race of rare quality, and while Laurina is likely to prove a tough nut to crack, it's hard not to have been impressed with the bold jumping of FAKIR D'OUDAIRIES so far over fences, and he can follow up his win in the Drinmore. Notebook is another promising sort, and should give a good account of himself up in class.
