Midnight's Dream (7/2), Kingdom Of Time (11/2), Eligible (11/2), Mr Baloo (13/2), Cousin Shay (8/1), Flag Of St George (17/2), Charencey (10/1), Commander Of Life (14/1), Serenity Dream (14/1), Ghaihaban (22/1), Sisterandbrother (50/1), Value Added (150/1)

ELIGIBLE again shaped better than the bare result over C&D 2 weeks ago and remains of interest from this sort of mark. The low-mileage Midnight's Dream arrives on the back of a career-best win at Kempton and rates the main threat ahead of Mr Baloo, who went close at Chelmsford last time.
