First Gentleman (1/1), Desert Haven (5/2), Treasured Soul (15/2), Blue News (14/1), Lope De Rueda (14/1), Cross Border (16/1), Limestone Red (25/1), Bold Optimist (28/1), Dance Night Andday (40/1), Teton Sioux (50/1), Needsomeluck (125/1), Mayo Dawn (200/1), Go Til Its Over (200/1), Love Me Doree (250/1)

There is more to come from FIRST GENTLEMAN and he can get off the mark now fitted with headgear in a very winnable maiden. Desert Haven can surely find a race before too much longer, while Limestone Red is a newcomer to keep an eye on.
