Devil's Cub (3/1), One For The Ladies (9/2), Bannergirl (15/2), Mrs Dibble (8/1), Smokey Malone (17/2), Moorland Queen (10/1), Vino Santo (11/1), Gone Mod (12/1), Mia Mia (20/1), Odd Socks Havana (22/1), Final Fantasy (25/1), Cuban Fox (25/1), Carmela Soprano (40/1), Magic Gem (40/1), Nibras Summer (50/1), Vivian Grey (66/1), Batocchi (150/1)

MRS DIBBLE hasn't disgraced herself on the all-weather in five runs to date and she makes some appeal on turf debut. A first time tongue-tie and William Buick taking over in the saddle could be enough for her to take a step forward. Devil's Cub has to be taken seriously after his Bath victory. One For The Ladies ran well over C&D last time and can't be ruled out either.
