Diamonds For Luck (8/11), Old Cowboy (11/8), Noble Park (14/1), Ballela Blaze (66/1)
This will likely develop into a match between OLD COWBOY and Diamonds For Luck, with the former taken to make the most of the weight he receives from Olly Murphy's previous winner and add to his stable's good recent record in this race.
