Ri Na Farraige (11/8), Call Me Harry (5/2), Boot 'n' Shoe (9/2), Star Flyer (9/1), Big City Life (11/1), Nortonthorpebanker (16/1), Now Then Wendy (40/1), Vallamorey (100/1), Bobs Teal (250/1)

CALL ME HARRY showed good speed when making a winning start at Musselburgh just before Christmas, going clear in good style off a steady pace, so should be suited by this test. He's taken to defy a penalty at the main expense of the other penalised-winner Ri Na Farraige, who also displayed a decent turn of foot when beating Boot 'n' Shoe over C&D 2 weeks ago.
