Hellavapace (11/4), Lucayan (7/2), Progressive Ez (9/2), Pop Favorite (9/2), Doonbeg Farmer (10/1), Velocity (11/1), Fast Emma (12/1), Patroon (18/1), Marienplatz (66/1), Uproar (80/1), Dutch Angel (250/1)

A switch to positive tactics worked wonders for POP FAVORITE as he opened his account at Chelmsford under Angus Villiers and he has obvious claims under a penalty back against his own age group. Lucayan can win more races if her latest Yarmouth showing, when looking to hang her chance away, was a one-off. Hellavapace must also be respected after her breakthrough success here 3 weeks ago.
