Pour Me Another (3/1), Scarpered (4/1), Abuffalosoldier (11/2), Royal Mogul (6/1), Dancing With Deco (8/1), Imperial B G (17/2), Callisto's King (16/1), Percy Veering (16/1), Avalanche Peak (22/1), Barnards Green (33/1), Blenkinsop (40/1), Avion (50/1)

ROYAL MOGUL was backed to make a big impression in a listed bumper at Cheltenham last month, only to be held back by inexperience. He will surely have derived plenty from that and he rates the percentage call for all there are a clutch of interesting newcomers, notably Scarpered and Imperial B G.
