Attaboy Roy (6/4), Accrington Stanley (5/2), Alehandro (8/1), Mehmo (9/1), Marta Boy (11/1), Stamford Bridge (16/1), The Queens Ladies (22/1), Krystal Maze (33/1), Red Headed Tiger (33/1), Hope Probe (40/1)

ATTABOY ROY showed plenty of dash when opening his account at Southwell in December and had previously finished second to a handicap blot here over 6f. Back from a break with his yard in form, he can shrug off a 6 lb rise, perhaps at the chief expense of Accrington Stanley.
