Saytarr (2/1), Fort Augustus (18/5), Moderna (11/2), Rogue Dancer (6/1), Francis Drake (15/2), Initial Blue (10/1), Ballsgrove Boy (14/1), South Shore Island (18/1), Nimble Nasher (28/1), Improve Your Move (66/1), Bintofie (66/1), Baylando (125/1)

FRANCIS DRAKE made a positive start for this yard when keeping on late over an inadequate 5f at Windsor and he should be much more comfortable back at this trip. Saytarr caught the eye when third at Newmarket after a lengthy absence, while Nimble Nasher could be interesting on handicap debut.
