Circus Lion (8/11), Obligatory (4/1), Northerner (6/1), Twilight Diamond (6/1), Barnaby (15/2), Doralee (12/1)

OBLIGATORY cranked it up another notch when second at Catterick last week and that sets a pretty good standard. Northerner was behind the selection that day but that was her reappearance and she's entitled to finish closer this time, albeit on the same terms.
