Spirit Dancer (10/3), Lasting Legacy (7/2), Vulcan (5/1), Dubai Souq (11/2), Sea The Shells (13/2), Strawberri (10/1), Winter Reprise (14/1), Skilled Warrior (14/1), Aasheq (14/1), Deal A Dollar (40/1), Ming Dynasty (66/1)

VULCAN shaped well when chasing home an improver at Haydock 5 weeks ago, in turn pulling clear of the rest, and a return to winning ways could be imminent. Spirit Dancer took this last year and is primed for a big run on the back of his Epsom return. Winter Reprise is another to consider.
