Dakota Gold (5/2), Moss Gill (3/1), Acklam Express (11/2), Urban Beat (6/1), Makanah (7/1), Tarboosh (8/1), Rocket Action (22/1), Country Carnival (33/1), Wise Words (50/1)

A well-up-to-scratch renewal with the vote going to the likeable MOSS GILL, who grabbed some Group 1 place prize money in the Nunthorpe, an excellent effort considering he was held up in what became a real test of speed. Dakota Gold bumped into one with top-tier aspirations at York on Sunday and is a huge threat if turned out quickly, while Urban Beat brings Irish formlines to the table.
