Jon Riggens (7/2), Laugh A Minute (4/1), Swift Flight (11/2), Saliteh (7/1), Earls (15/2), Downforce (9/1), Harry's Hill (9/1), The Highway Rat (10/1), Hurricane Ivor (10/1), Verhoyen (18/1), Aljady (20/1), Only Spoofing (66/1)

The market will assess the readiness of most of these back from a break but JON RIGGENS ended 2022 with a brace of excellent runner-up efforts so he gets the vote. This is a drop in class for The Highway Rat and he's a threat, along with Earls, who was prolific for this yard during the second half of last year.
