Grand Soir (9/4), L'or Des Roses (9/4), Level Neverending (9/2), Camino Rock (11/2), Starzov (7/1), Silver Gazette (18/1)

GRAND SOIR is quickly making up into a useful stayer so John McConnell's 6-y-o is fancied to complete a hat-trick at the chief expense of L'Or des Roses who also has better days ahead of him and rates a big threat. Level Neverending has the form to play a part too if on his A-game.
