Moddy Poddle (9/2), Toshizou (7/1), Imposing Supreme (15/2), Carrytheone (8/1), Doolin Dancer (10/1), Dream Tale (11/1), Lust (11/1), Music To My Ears (12/1), Eagle's Flight (12/1), He Knows No Fear (18/1), Big Baby Bull (18/1), Ice Cold In Alex (18/1), Tauran Shaman (18/1), Fastnet Crown (25/1), Saltonstall (25/1), Pierre Lapin (25/1), Zozimus (25/1), Bopedro (28/1), Star Harbour (28/1), Crystal Black (28/1), Luke Short (28/1), Spanish Tenor (28/1), Comfort Line (33/1), Dedillon (33/1), Agitare (33/1), Turbulence (33/1), Sirjack Thomas (40/1), Juyush (50/1), In From The Cold (50/1), Tyrconnell (100/1)

MUSIC TO MY EARS is interesting having come down to 4 lb lower than when second in a handicap here last year and she's definitely in better form than she was able to show at Lingfield recently. Her stablemate Toshizou went into a few notebooks when fourth over C&D earlier in the month and it'll be a surprise if he isn't involved at the finish. The returning Carrytheone is also respected.
