Rosie Rock (3/1), Beleaguerment (10/3), Shimla Rolann (6/1), Accessory (7/1), Ampeson (9/1), Tai Sing Yeh (9/1), California Poppy (11/1), Mokhalad (12/1), Spirituoso (18/1), Rugadh Realta (20/1), Ranger Bob (25/1), Cloch Liath (25/1), Nigg Bay (28/1), Nakao (125/1), Runway Queen (125/1)

ROSIE ROCK shaped well when staying on to be nearest at the finish over C&D 12 days ago and is fancied to build on that promise with Colin Keane taking the ride again. Beleaguerment is much respected on the back of last week's 6f success here, while Shimla Rolann is another who arrives on the back of a decent run at this track in recent days.
