Cindy Lou Who (11/10), Azuinthejungle (7/2), Solar Edge (7/2), Toolatetonegotiate (5/1), Reporter (12/1), Hardlass (50/1)

CINDY LOU WHO has been in excellent form this season with wins at Bath/Windsor and gets the vote back down in class. Solar Edge has improved significantly of late and performs best when leading from the front. Azuinthejungle completed a hat-trick last time out at Ayr and could continue his winning ways while at the top of his game.
