Pessoa (6/4), Autumn Angel (13/2), My Boy Jack (7/1), Seas Of Elzaam (15/2), Tenyatta (15/2), Available Angel (10/1), Mashaan (16/1), Tres Chic (18/1), Batal Dandy (25/1), Nasneen (28/1), Heavenly Fire (33/1), Zambezi Diamond (40/1)

AUTUMN ANGEL has slipped a long way in the weights and produced her best effort for some time at Newcastle a fortnight ago, so gets the nod over Tenyatta. Pessoa is also interesting dropping into this grade having gone with much more promise last time.
