Love Dreams (9/2), Masham Star (9/2), Donncha (8/1), Medahim (8/1), Right Action (8/1), Squats (8/1), Gallipoli (10/1), Taurean Star (12/1), Mutawathea (14/1), The Warrior (20/1), Make Music (20/1), Pastoral Player (25/1), Graphite Storm (25/1), Summer Icon (33/1), Mister Music (33/1)
The hat-trick seeking Right Action has solid claims and is just preferred to stable companion Gallipoli, and it's a similar case for another Northern yard with Masham Star marginally favoured over top-weight Love Dreams. Medahim and Squats hail from top yards and are respected, but a chance is taken with last year's second, MAKE MUSIC, who has not got an ideal draw, but is well treated if the return to turf proves beneficial. Taurean Star is rated higher than his display last time suggests and can chase home the selection, while Donncha and Graphite Storm are also respected.
