Monks Dream (5/2), Lion's House (4/1), Alligator Alley (5/1), Dark Kestrel (15/2), Mattice (8/1), Mondammej (11/1), Thankuappreciate (11/1), South Parade (11/1), Water Of Leith (28/1)

MONKS DREAM arrives on the back of a brace of runner-up efforts on turf but he's always been a more potent force on the AW and this mark looks well within range. He's therefore preferred in favour of hat-trick seeking Mattice and Dark Kestrel.
