Ombudsman (1/5), Winston's Tipple (13/2), Clockmaker (9/1), Far Lane (18/1), Candyman Stan (22/1), Thomas G (25/1), Oosterpark (50/1), Altanera (50/1), Little Miss India (66/1), Xander Nevett (66/1), Graze On Phoenix (80/1), Catalan King (150/1), Mr Nugget (150/1), Hk Fourteen (250/1)

OMBUDSMAN looked a class act when making a winning start at Newmarket and there's a lot more to come, so he's well fancied to defy a penalty before a potential move into pattern company. Clockmaker is the biggest danger on form and Winston's Tipple has some potential after a promising start 8 months ago.
