Snooze Lane (9/4), Hooflepuff (4/1), Kenilworth King (5/1), Barney's Angel (7/1), Kaaranah (15/2), Pysanka (14/1), Galileo Glass (14/1), Nikki's Girl (16/1), Equion (22/1), Bond Boy (22/1), Los Camachos (25/1)

KENILWORTH KING left his opening effort for this yard well behind when second here last week, and from the same mark, he holds sound claims. Snooze Lane has gained both wins at this venue and is a big danger back on the AW, with Nikki's Girl another to consider upped in trip.
