Never Just A Dream (85/40), Cotai Pearl (4/1), Magical Merlin (11/2), Ignac Lamar (6/1), Yacowlef (6/1), Glorious Angel (10/1), Kitbag (11/1), Rock Of England (12/1), Lady Miller (12/1), Michaela's Boy (14/1), Expeditious (14/1), Gemcutter (16/1), Novaportian (25/1)

IGNAC LAMAR has improved back on AW lately and, following a good second at Kempton, he's worth chancing to get back to winning ways at the possible expense of Cotai Pearl, who was well on top at the finish when opening her account at Carlisle 8 days ago. Michaela's Boy and Never Just A Dream are also of interest.
