Dick Datchery (11/4), Pearl Of Qatar (3/1), Captain Jameson (3/1), Gleniffer (4/1), Nubough (7/1)

The Tristan Davidson team has been in fine form in recent months so PEARL OF QATAR gets the nod to make a successful return to turf after a short break. Dick Datchery is back to the same mark as when scoring over this C&D last summer so he's perhaps the one likely to give the selection most to think about.
