Strong Johnson (6/4), Moonstone Boy (9/4), Holbache (4/1), Refuge (13/2), Game Breaker (20/1)

STRONG JOHNSON found only a progressive 3-y-o too good at Thirsk on Friday and this could finally be his day again. 4-time C&D winner Refuge is the obvious danger after getting his head back in front at Beverley.
