Hestina (4/7), Here All Along (3/1), Macca's Stowaway (8/1), Athy River (9/1), Drewmain Legend (20/1), Strangsmill (25/1), Mac Bella (33/1), Maggie's Dawn (50/1), All Dolled Up (100/1)

The fact that Hestina can pull very hard and has failed to settle in her races makes her vulnerable here even though this isn’t a deep race and HERE ALL ALONG may well be able to capitalise on her good Exeter debut run. Athy River and Macca’s Stowaway have shown some ability and at a big price Strangsmill should not be totally written off.
