Western Stars (11/4), Khinjani (7/2), Alpha Female (4/1), Warhol (17/2), Croeso Cymraeg (17/2), Junkanoo (9/1), Reel Rosie (12/1), Liseo (14/1), Lawn Ranger (20/1), Now Then Wendy (50/1)

WESTERN STARS followed up his Haydock success in good style here last week and is taken to complete the hat-trick with conditions no problem. Several of the others arrive here in good form too, not least Reel Rosie, who remains on a workable mark having been raised just 2 lb for her recent win at Chester. Croeso Cymraeg is also shortlisted, along with Alpha Female.
