Bold Getaway (11/8), Stumptown (5/2), Captain Conby (4/1), Bois De Clamart (13/2), Ilmig (10/1), Saucy Yeats (150/1)

STUMPTOWN found a big-field Leopardstown handicap too hot to handle on his second start but his debut win is still fresh in the memory and he's worth another chance. Captain Conby and Bold Getaway are others who should have more to offer and can give Gavin Cromwell's representative most to think about.
