Salta Resta (3/1), Marsh Benham (10/3), Berra Go (9/2), Bang On The Bell (11/2), Between The Sheets (10/1), Sweet Aroma (11/1), Dalglish (12/1), Waverley Star (16/1), Al Tilal (28/1), Another Bertie (80/1)

SALTA RESTA showed much-improved form when making a winning handicap bow over C&D 2 weeks ago, value extra too given she overcame a positional bias, so she's taken to defy a 5 lb rise. Berra Go also shaped well from a poor position when an improved second to the selection that day and could emerge as the biggest threat again, with Marsh Benham another to consider having gone very close at Kempton.
