Firestream (3/1), Hunter Legend (11/2), The Bogmans Ball (11/2), Mount Pleasant (15/2), Thruthelookinglass (10/1), Ginge (10/1), Clifton Bridge (14/1), Champs Hill (16/1), Sockeye (16/1), Off My Rocco (18/1), Awaythelad (20/1), Stormin Crossgales (22/1), Thirst For Fame (28/1), Junior Doctor (66/1), Firefly Lane (66/1), Mabel Kingsmill (66/1)

With the majority of these unraced, the market should provide a good indicator as to what can be expected. However the vote goes to FIRESTREAM, who shaped encouragingly when fourth at Ascot last month and he can put that experience to good use. Newcomers The Bogmans Ball, Mount Pleasant and Champs Hill are just a handful that may have a say in proceedings.
