Mickey Miller (5/2), Bafana Choice (10/3), Lotus Pond (9/2), Martha's Benefit (7/1), Towerburn (11/1), Packettotherafters (16/1), Forrardon Xmoor (16/1), Up To Al (22/1), Stagecoach Jasper (28/1), Preacher's Belle (28/1), Cobbler's Rest (33/1), Little Fritz (40/1), Bedford Forrest (50/1)

BAFANA CHOICE has already finished ahead of Micky Miller and Towerburn at Hexham on his last run and provided this drop in trip doesn’t hinder him he should be able to maintain his superiority over that duo. The main threat may well come from Lotus Pond who shaped nicely at Kelso recently. The overall form of Forrardon Xmoor doesn’t match up to some of these but the booking of leading rider James King is very interesting and it won’t be a surprise to see him build on his last run at Exeter.
