Starbo (10/3), Firsteen (4/1), Deolali (5/1), Eldelbar (11/2), The Retriever (9/1), Melgate Magic (10/1), Susie Javea (18/1), Red Skye Delight (18/1), Peachey Carnehan (22/1), Quercus (25/1), With Approval (25/1), Gunmaker (33/1), Jungle Rock (100/1), Rio De Cerisy (100/1)

FIRSTEEN was a big eye-catcher here last week and makes plenty of appeal with a promising 7 lb claimer now deployed. Starbo was gambled on when thwarted by Eldelbar here 3 weeks ago and should go well despite a 3 lb rise. Deolali continues to go close over C&D and has to be respected again.
