Pearls Galore (8/11), Twilight Spinner (13/8), My Holy Fox (20/1), Sh Boom (22/1), Emphatic Answer (25/1), Thunder Beauty (25/1), Diadora (28/1), Shahaada (80/1)

In all likelihood, this is between TWILIGHT SPINNER and Pearls Galore, who stand out on form. The former is still on the up and takes marginal preference, though they're difficult to split.
