Golden Apollo (10/3), Tothenines (5/1), Maple Jack (6/1), Water Of Leith (6/1), Jordan Electrics (9/1), Black Friday (10/1), Summer Sands (11/1), Pockley (14/1), Pearl Of Qatar (18/1), Be Proud (18/1), Guest List (25/1), Hard Nut (100/1)

With the Julie Camacho team in form a chance is taken on MAPLE JACK as he shaped as if he can win off this sort of mark when an eye-catching fourth over C&D on his penultimate start. Jordan Electrics and Tothenines both ran quite well in the Bronze Cup over C&D recently and could be the pair to give the selection most to do.
