Camerily Joe (9/4), The Princes Poet (5/2), Thornaby Pearl (6/1), Impeller (8/1), Driftwood (17/2), Amazing Anna (11/1), Tommy Tittlemouse (16/1), Julie Johnston (28/1), My Best Friend (50/1)

CAMERILY JOE arrives at the top of his game and is fancied to go one better than when second over C&D last week. The Princes Poet is still to get his head in front but greatly feared on the back of his excellent Nottingham second, with another in-form maiden Driftwood appealing as the pick of the remainder.
