Red Bravo (10/3), Frow (4/1), Lafontaine (9/2), Cashel (5/1), Vitesse Du Son (8/1), Joyful Dream (10/1), Trepidation (11/1), Drop Kick Murphi (16/1), Lili Wen Fach (25/1), Its All Clover Now (25/1), Excelinthejungle (33/1), Princess Mayson (33/1), Amnaa (150/1), Noble Deed (200/1)

RED BRAVO ran his best race for ages out of the blue when bolting up at Nottingham last week. The way he completed the task suggested that there could be plenty more to come, and he's a confident selection to follow up under a penalty. Frow rates as the main threat having done well to get third from a less-than-ideal position at Chelmsford just 4 days ago, ahead of Joyful Dream.
