Barend Boy (9/4), True Mason (11/4), Marie's Diamond (3/1), Awake In Asia (9/2), Finoah (12/1), Made In Lewisham (22/1)

Awake In Asia sets a good standard from his debut second against five interesting debutantes from good yards. Barend Boy is of obvious interest for his trainer who is attempting to complete a hat-trick in the race, however preference is for TRUE MASON who catches the eye on breeding and looks likely to be a forward type for his trainer well capable of readying a smart newcomer.
