Snapdragon (11/4), South Shore Island (10/3), Shimmy Jimmy (5/1), Nyman (17/2), Great Mover (10/1), Girl Like You (12/1), Powerful Lady (12/1), Boutella (14/1), Weegeebear (20/1), Bamako (22/1), Midnight Stagger (40/1), Eric Lock (40/1)

With lot of these handicap newcomer the betting may provide more clues but GIRL LIKE YOU appeals as being well treated judged on the form of her C&D debut third so gets the nod. Snapdragon has already shown he can be competitive in nurseries and is second choice ahead of Nyman.
