Castle Stuart (6/5), Boston Run (7/4), Raulin (5/1), Canavan (18/1), U S Grant (25/1), Chloe's Courage (40/1)

It was a muddling contest that BOSTUN RUN finished second in starting out at Haydock a month ago but it was a promising effort nonetheless and with improvement assured, he'll take some stopping, Given his pedigree, Castle Stuart surely has a bigger performance in him, with Raulin a newcomer to note given his sales price.
