Gavi Di Gavi (9/4), Anglo Saxson (3/1), Typical Man (15/2), Hellavapace (15/2), Rhubarb Bikini (15/2), Girl Inthe Picture (9/1), Pessoa (12/1), Always Fearless (18/1), Egoiste (28/1), Ballet Blanc (40/1), Miss Connaisseur (80/1), Toddays The Day (125/1)

GAVI DI GAVI cashed in on his lower turf mark at Sandown last month and he retains plenty of handicapping scope up 4 lb. Anglo Saxson certainly won't lack for assistance from the saddle and he's feared most, ahead of Typical Man.
