Cometh The Man (10/3), Royal Jazz (11/2), Emirati Dirham (7/1), Burscough (8/1), Rory (17/2), Khabib (17/2), The Gloaming (9/1), High Security (10/1), Aquamas (12/1), Val De Travers (28/1), Lola Rebel (33/1), Earn Your Stripes (40/1)

HIGH SECURITY is still a maiden, but he put in good late work when 1½ lengths third to Royal Jazz at Musselburgh last time and has a very realistic chance of reversing those placings. Indeed, Nigel Tinkler's charge is now 6 lb better off with that rival and this stiffer track should play to his strengths. Royal Jazz is respected all the same, along with Cometh The Man and Burscough.
