Eleven Eleven (5/2), Reclaim Victory (5/1), Cosa Sara (6/1), Engles Rock (8/1), International Law (9/1), Paddy Elliott (11/1), Mahanakhon Power (14/1), Rose Of Lancashire (14/1), Saulire Star (18/1), Zealous (25/1), Gold Ring (33/1), Selecto (40/1), Danking (50/1), Wildmountainthyme (125/1)

ROSE OF LANCASHIRE leaves the impression she could be up to notching a first win soon and could prove the answer to this tight handicap. International Law is respected on the back of his runner-up effort at Wolverhampton last week, while Eleven Eleven won a weak course novice last time but he's an unexposed 3-y-o who may have more to offer.
