Ebony Maw (10/3), Annandale (4/1), Glasses Up (5/1), Laudable (11/2), Val Bassett (7/1), Lunacy (15/2), Dandy's Angel (8/1), Jaminoz (12/1), Purple Gown (20/1), Crystal Guard (20/1), Sitcom (66/1)

Likeable mare DANDY'S ANGEL has struck up a productive partnership with her talented young jockey and, having won with more in hand than the result at Redcar 5 days ago, she's worth a chance to land the four-timer, a major feat for a 7-y-o. Jaminoz, who was second to the selection 10 days ago at Hamilton, is much better off at the weights and is regarded as the main danger ahead of Ebony Maw.
