Bay Of Naples (13/8), Cold Harbour (2/1), London Eye (11/2), Engrave (6/1), Whiskey And Water (14/1), Foresee (20/1), Calculus (50/1), French Kiss (66/1), Scorched Earth (100/1)

ENGRAVE ran very well on her fibresand debut earlier this month and she shaped as though this extra furlong should suit. She's taken to gain a third career success. Bay of Naples was a winner here at the end of last month and should go close once again. Cold Harbour is another who has been acquitting himself well at this venue.
