Dawaaleeb (5/2), Mustarrid (5/2), Ulshaw Bridge (10/3), Traveller (6/1), National League (15/2), Little Jo (25/1), Straitouttacompton (33/1), Street Poet (50/1)

ULSHAW BRIDGE won over C&D last month and is still fairly unexposed on the all-weather so he's chanced to follow up off a 3 lb higher mark. Mustarrid won well on heavy ground last time and can't be ruled out under a 5 lb penalty. Traveller loves it here and should go close.
