Five Diamonds (3/1), Dr Rio (5/1), King Of The South (11/2), Emaraty Hero (11/2), Traveller (9/1), John Jasper (9/1), Fitzrovia (16/1), Corked (18/1), Arabian Romance (20/1), Rainbird (25/1), High Flying Bird (25/1), Myrmidons (40/1), Archippos (40/1)

FIVE DIAMONDS proved better than ever when making a successful AW bow over C&D 2 weeks ago and the way in which she won that day makes her of interest again. Traveller continues to hold his form well and is another to consider back up in trip, while King of The South is a potential improver starting out for a new yard on handicap bow/return.
