Local Lad (2/1), Valiant Knight (5/2), Chemical (4/1), Watching Stars (5/1), Regal Agenda (11/2), Some Boy Me (125/1), Carlton Freddie (125/1), Pretty Spirited (400/1)

LOCAL LAD made a very encouraging start to his career pitched into the deep end when beaten just over a length in a Group 3 at the Curragh in May and he sets a high standard down in class. Chemical was surrounded by subsequent winners at Kempton last month so rates the main threat.
