Spirit Of Rosanna (9/4), Seamster (3/1), Compton Poppy (3/1), Chatoyer (10/3), Kinglami (9/2), Minty Jones (7/1), Swendab (22/1)
Lone speed here will possibly come from SPIRIT OF ROSANNA, who could have a few of these in trouble by half-way. Compton Poppy, second of seven in July on good to firm when last seen and Chatoyer, third of nine only beaten ¾L in Doncaster 6f maiden on good to firm, can fill the places.
