England Expects (11/4), Speciality (4/1), Topamichi (6/1), Lungarno Palace (8/1), Oceanus (17/2), Maraakib (9/1), Sonnetist (9/1), Attest (11/1), Bollihope (14/1), Shining Romeo (16/1), Booborowie (25/1), Lazarus (28/1), Turnbury (33/1), Lady Valdean (33/1), Paddy A (50/1)

England Expects would not be an undeserving winner of this after some consistent recent efforts, but she does need to eek out a little bit extra to do so and the same can be said of Oceanus. Topamichi is probably worth a look in the market, while Maraakib and Attest could both go well. However, preference is for SPECIALITY, who has a good pilot up, has already won a race, handles soft ground and is very interesting on her first start for this trainer, dropped in trip and in headgear.
