Hello Me (9/4), Oso Rapido (5/2), Tommy de Vito (7/2), Mohareb (7/1), Tipperary Tiger (10/1), Lahore (12/1), Kind Review (16/1), Ballyconneely Bay (16/1), Macho Pride (20/1), Tathmeen (25/1), Lezardrieux (28/1), Giogiobbo (66/1), Barney's Bay (100/1)

LAHORE shaped encouragingly here on his first run for Paul Midgley last month. He's lurking on a very dangerous mark and it may well all click for him today. Macho Pride could offer some each-way value.
