Capla Cubiste (15/8), Lion Tower (3/1), Cape Greco (11/2), Arju (6/1), Star Of St James (10/1), House Deposit (10/1), Mountain Rescue (10/1), Amadeus Grey (14/1), Compass Point (16/1), Custard The Dragon (16/1), Master Rocco (16/1), Jazz Hands (20/1), Finery (20/1), Break The Silence (50/1)

A chance is taken on LION TOWER, who was below his best at Redcar last time but scored in good style on his two previous visits to this track and looks well handicapped back here. Fellow 3-y-o Capla Cubiste, who won over 7f here recently, ranks as an obvious danger along with Cape Greco.
