Diamond Cauchois (7/2), Forge Meadow (5/1), Jezki (6/1), Coquin Mans (7/1), Bleu Berry (8/1), Augusta Kate (8/1), Identity Thief (8/1), Barra (9/1), Let's Dance (12/1), Bleu Et Rouge (12/1), Renneti (16/1), Bapaume (20/1), Lieutenant Colonel (33/1)

Bleu Berry, Identity Thief and Barra all come here after positive efforts (a win for the first named) and hold claims on that form but those were tough races on soft ground and the turnaround is quick. COQUIN MANS on the other hand has enjoyed a nice break since he was very unfortunate to slip at Clonmel in December with a race at his mercy. His second to stablemate Melon prior to that reads very well now and he can land this for the champion trainer, who dominates the entry. Last year's winner Renneti is respected while Jezki and Forge Meadow are also worth a second glance.
