Lion Of War (8/11), Post Office Road (10/3), Maximilian Caesar (7/1), Sprezzatura (11/1), Tuther One (16/1), Henzar (20/1)

POST OFFICE ROAD was doing some good late work when third at Carlisle on debut and, with the longer trip likely to bring improvement, he gets the marginal vote over Lion of War, who made the ideal start when scoring at Leicester. Maximilian Caesar is a notable newcomer.
