Opposites Attract (8/13), Jukebox Jive (3/1), Defi Bleu (4/1), Favori Logique (14/1), New Money (33/1)

OPPOSITES ATTRACT's jumping hasn't been too great but he's been shaping well otherwise so, with a relatively error-free round, he should be able to open his account over fences. Defi Bleu is a danger if back on his game and Jukebox Jive has the ability to lay down a threat if he takes to chasing at the first attempt.
