Curley Bill (9/4), Bianca Minola (11/4), Brazos (11/2), Boom Or Bush (9/1), Ace Of Diamonds (11/1), Hyperdrive (12/1), Long Call (14/1), Nanabad (20/1), Bobby Jean (20/1), Mystique Heights (25/1), Mistiness (25/1), Emperor Waltz (33/1), Dandy Dude (33/1), Nightly Wailing (33/1), Masterofdiscovery (50/1), Eastern Dragon (66/1)

Eastern Dragon, Bobby Jean and Long Call have all won on heavy ground but the trio come here with plenty of question marks against them so it may pay to side with a few in form with victory's in the conditions, notably the age-defying Curley Bill winner last time out but will have to burden a 7lb rise in the weights. Bianca Minola held on well to win on seasonal debut and is worthy of consideration as is the likable BRAZOS who's races have produced multiple winners and will relish a return to this trip.
