Dame du Soir (7/4), Drops Of Jupitor (2/1), Waiheke (5/2), Love Lane (10/1), Kestrel Valley (25/1), Bonza Girl (40/1), Bella's Vision (50/1), France Du Lukka (66/1), Madame Claud (200/1), Gog Elles (200/1)

A race in which credible selections are thin on the ground and perhaps DROPS OF JUPITOR, who may have been found out by a longer trip and very testing ground under her penalty at Wincanton last time, can get back on track. Waiheke has to be respected as another to have won one of these races already, while dual French winner Dame Du Soir is also of interest. Others to consider are potential improvers Kestrel Valley and Love Lane.
