Changing Colours (1/2), Secret Angel (4/1), Honour Your Dreams (8/1), Shandy Star (17/2), Dandy Man Shines (28/1), Smile And Pay (150/1)

CHANGING COLOURS produced a promising first effort and learned from that experience to get off the mark at Haydock comfortably, form which has been boosted by the second winning since. The son of Dubawi can continue his progress and make it back-to-back wins, with Karl Burke's Secret Angel the main danger after her encouraging debut. Shandy Star could still do better and she completes the shortlist.
