Rocksette (13/8), Roy Rocket (5/2), Windsorlot (10/3), Tigerfish (10/1), Outrath (10/1), Careyanne (12/1), Ronni Layne (25/1), Austin Friars (25/1), Brave Tart (50/1)

WINDSORLOT can concede weight all round and register his second victory on turf by taking this for trainer Tony Carroll. The selection has finished runner-up the last twice and looks capable of getting the better of the filly Rocksette who is another to have finished runner-up lst time out. Roy Rocket has won six times here in the past and can finish third.
