Night Castle (4/7), Sallab (2/1), King Tut (14/1), Wind Storm (16/1), Champs Inblue (33/1), Looking For Carl (50/1)

Given the impressive performance he put in at Newcastle last time it would be a surprise if NIGHT CASTLE couldn't add to that tally even under a penalty. He really did shape like he needed the run when fifth on debut and he should prove a fair bit better than this level of competition in time. He should be able to see off Sallab, who has run to a fair standard (including at Newbury last time out) and the Holy Roman Emperor newcomer Wind Storm.
