Ahyoka (2/1), Woodrow (5/2), Hodd's Girl (7/2), Pillar (5/1), Maggie Thunder (11/2), Blastofmagic (6/1), No Nay Yellow (8/1), Nightflight (12/1), Early Call (14/1), Danz Gift (22/1), King's View (40/1), Dash D'Or (40/1), Polly Douglas (50/1), Smart Project (125/1), Night Law (150/1), Princess Xena (250/1)

WOODROW was outpointed by Hodd's Girl over C&D last month, but his subsequent maiden victory over 5f here was pretty impressive and, on that evidence, he is a step ahead of the handicapper with just a 6 lb penalty to shoulder. Conversely, Hodd's Girl looks weighed to the hilt off this 11 lb higher mark and Woodrow may have most to fear from last-time-out C&D winner Ahyoka and Blastofmagic.
