Beechwood Star (7/2), One More Dream (9/2), Bestie (5/1), Liberty Breeze (7/1), Langholm (15/2), Prefer The Sister (10/1), Bowood (10/1), Profiteer (11/1), Miners Gamble (14/1), Masterclass (18/1), Rwenearlytheredad (20/1), The Cruising Lord (25/1)

LIBERTY BREEZE ran well on her return from 6 months off at Catterick earlier in the month and tops the shortlist from an unchanged mark. Langholm is a consistent sort who should give his running once more, whilst Beechwood Star is well drawn in stall 12 and produced a pleasing effort at Wetherby last time, so they are taken to complete the placings.
