So Smart (7/2), Rambuso Creek (7/2), Show Me Show Me (9/2), Kape Moss (5/1), May Blossom (7/1), Faustus (10/1), Josies Kid (11/1), Glamorous Express (16/1), Zim Baby (18/1), Claim The Stars (28/1)

RAMBUSO CREEK was right back to form when runner-up at Pontefract last week and might be able to go one better off the same mark. Glamorous Express was quite a bit better than the result at Goodwood last time and this unexposed 3-y-o rates a possible threat. Faustus was successful the last time he contested a Class 4 and also makes the shortlist.
