Swing To The Stars (7/4), Mitigator (9/4), Ermin Street (5/1), Isle of Wolves (11/2), Big Narstie (8/1), Blue Hero (9/1), Taxiing (20/1), Big Dutchie (50/1), Broomy Law (100/1)

ISLE OF WOLVES had been in good order prior to an excusable run last time and, down in grade, he's worth taking a chance on. Swing To The Stars and Ermin Street both arrive in reasonable form and are likely to get competitive.
