Amy Blair (4/5), Framley Garth (7/2), African Trader (6/1), Rosamaria (6/1), Dark Crystal (15/2), Hellavashock (9/1), Lawman's Justice (16/1), Stardrifter (20/1)

Not a particularly deep contest and despite the fact that AMY BLAIR looks harshly treated under a penalty here around his favourite course and with an easy lead he may be able to add another course win to his name. Opposition looks pretty thin on the ground although with the Linda Perratt yard starting to show signs of life Dark Crystal may be able to bounce back to form with African Trader given a chance to show that he can perform in handicaps – he has less convictions than most in this.
