Folkswood (10/3), Oh This Is Us (7/2), Sovereign Debt (4/1), Here Comes When (5/1), Ballet Concerto (11/2), Gabrial (7/1), Kool Kompany (7/1), Custom Cut (16/1)
With a little rain forecast over night, the ground may go against Folkswood and Oh This Is Us who both of sound form claims. A chance is taken on GABRIAL to bounce back to form after a slightly disappointing run last time. His effort behind Sovereign Debt the time before was a smart effort and he gets weight off that rival here. Kool Kompany is another who won't mind some rain and he's an uncomplicated sort who should go well.
