Alexharwill (7/2), Happaugue (4/1), I Don't Get It (5/1), Darkest Hour (6/1), Ask The Leader (9/1), Y Fyn Duw A Fydd (9/1), Lesssaidthebetter (14/1), Jazz Ranger (14/1), Miss Louise (22/1), Hillary John (22/1), Pak Army (25/1), Like A G Six (28/1), Unlaoised (40/1), Woodstream Lad (40/1), Rio Biumoso (100/1)

ALEXHARWILL caught the eye here last time and rarely runs a bad race at this track so he's worth chancing to finally get off the mark. Darkest Hour, Jazz Ranger and Miss Louise also make the shortlist.
