Downtherefordancin (6/4), Fast Felix (7/2), Break The Boundary (4/1), Expound (5/1), Drumgill (13/2), Leave In Secret (8/1), Koori Star (14/1), Janus Bede (14/1), Sarrealta (16/1), French Milan (22/1), Big Tom (33/1), Podcast (50/1), Lakewood (50/1), Zarvero (125/1), County Champs (200/1), Lauras Spirit (200/1)

DOWNTHEREFORDANCIN and Fast Felix had excuses last time out and both should be firmly in the mix on their best form. Koori Star won his sole start in points in February and is a newcomer to note.
