Whispering Storm (3/1), Highland Fling (7/2), Star Foot (7/2), Walsingham Grange (6/1), G'day Aussie (9/1), Iconic Sky (12/1), Regulation (14/1), Gin And Tonic (20/1), Hallings Comet (20/1)

Noteworthy that Highland Fling turns out quickly under a penalty and is sure to give a good account of himself if he can muster anything like the resilience and enthusiasm he showed at Sedgefield the other day. However, WHISPERING STORM is also going the right way and, as he has scope for a touch more improvement, he gets the nod in a tough one to call. Walshingham Grange and Iconic Sky are others who have yet to fulfil their potential and are also worth bearing in mind to make the frame at least.
