Macanudo (9/4), Blazes Boylan (3/1), Al Wosol (10/3), Mutasawi (11/2), Red Troop (7/1), Takeityouremine (40/1)

With further improvement on the cards, BLAZES BOYLAN is selected to follow up last month's C&D success. Al Wosol proved a different proposition to his debut when making a winning start for Archie Watson at Wolverhampton recently and is considered the main threat ahead of the more exposed pair Mutasawi and Macanudo.
