Rebel Redemption (7/4), San Juan (2/1), Young John (8/1), I'm Watching You (17/2), Shamarouski (11/1), Bellevarde (20/1), Lorna Cole (22/1), Maid Millie (25/1), Breath Of Spring (28/1), Madrinho (33/1), Something Lucky (33/1), Creek Harbour (40/1), Mostaqqer (66/1)

It is difficult to oppose SAN JUAN after his dominant display last week at Southwell. He has to prove himself away from fibresand and up in trip but the manner of his victory there suggested he is a sprinter in rude health. Young John represents a yard that can do little wrong of late and he has to be taken seriously. Rebel Redemption looks best of the remainder.
