Willyouwalkwithme (10/3), Wishful Thinking (11/2), Storm Flight (6/1), Arctic Sofia (6/1), The Dreams Alive (15/2), Gragara Tara (15/2), Dinny's Ginny (11/1), Ricky Langford (12/1), Nodoubtaboutthat (12/1), Rockview Emperor (18/1), Sir Pimpernel (22/1), Tinas Glory (33/1), Elusive Intrusive (33/1), Gimligonnabelucky (50/1)

WILLYOUWALKWITHME has improved in handicaps both starts this season and could be the answer back down in trip in a weak event. Gragara Tara and Wishful Thinking head the dangers.
