| Book | Form | Name | Draw | Hcp | Driver | Comment | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | | 14659X | Fredastaire | 1 | Ft | Jim Curtin | Not seen publicly since form flattened out in autumn. Should require the run. |
| 2 | | 080561 | Crusher Lou | 2 | Ft | ||
| 3 | | 21111X | Cherish Me | 3 | Ft | Carter Dalgety(J) | A filly to follow based on her autumn/winter campaign. Drawn to go very close. |
