Harbanaker (5/2), Ampeson (16/5), Royal Scholar (7/2), Morning Approach (4/1), Colonel Slade (9/1), Burning Lake (11/1), Tony The Gent (12/1), Koybig (14/1), Fox Leicester (16/1), Cool Leader (16/1), She's Good Company (20/1), Riliya (22/1), Brokers Tip (25/1), Benkogambit (28/1), Philly's Hope (33/1), Baltinglass Abbey (50/1), Kinch (66/1)

A number arrive with chances and it may pay to take a chance on MORNING APPROACH. Having eased in the weights, she caught the eye when fourth in a C&D handicap 26 days ago, finishing with running left at the line, and she remains low-mileage on all-weather. Royal Scholar and the hat-trick seeking Ampeson are others to consider.
