Unplugged (3/1), Mc'ted (4/1), Lethal Touch (5/1), Kardinya (7/1), Miss Harmony (11/1), Asdaa (12/1), Pure Motion (14/1), Roaring River (20/1), Marquis Of York (20/1), Bit Harsh (22/1), Overstate (22/1), Moonlit Cloud (25/1), Taskheer (50/1), It's A Love Thing (66/1)

LETHAL TOUCH produced a career-best effort in victory at Wolverhampton last time and Joseph Parr's thriving filly is fancied to follow up. Stablemate Mc'ted is also respected, whilst Unplugged and Moonlit Cloud are others who should be in the mix.
