King Ottokar (11/4), Technician (11/4), Norway (9/2), Dashing Willoughby (11/2), Sir Dragonet (13/2), Gentile Bellini (7/1), Kaloor (11/1), Arthur Kitt (20/1)

A fascinating renewal of a race won seven times out of the last 10 by an Aidan O'Brien representative, the last five of those being sent off as favourite. Again, he has three very interesting runners here in Norway, Gentile Bellini and Sir Dragonet, none of whom would be shock winners. However, both Technician and KING OTTOKAR look to be making good progress themselves and with soft ground likely by race time, the latter gets the vote over a trip that can also draw more from him. Arthur Kitt and Dashing Willoughby are others of interest.
