Esspeegee (2/1), Bobba Tee (6/1), Manzil (6/1), Flames Of York (13/2), Lord Torranaga (17/2), International Law (9/1), Sioux Frontier (10/1), Desert Dawn (22/1), Trinity Star (28/1), Ho Whole Dream (33/1), Ravenscar (40/1), Be Perfect (40/1), Archive (50/1), Zig Zag (80/1)

BOBBA TEE rattled home in eye-catching fashion at Wolverhampton on his penultimate outing and wasn't seen to best effect at the same course last time. The longer straight at this track should play to his strengths, so he gets the nod in an open race, with Esspeegee and Manzil also considered.
