Zolfo (2/1), Cheltenam De Vaige (7/2), Hidden Cargo (9/2), Cafe Au Lait (8/1), Shininstar (8/1), Hoke Colburn (18/1), Sea's Aria (22/1), Captiva Island (25/1)

ZOLFO produced a much-improved effort when winning over this C&D on return to action last month and can double his tally now despite going up 8lb in the ratings for that success. Cafe Au Lait has been consistent for Dan Skelton over timber but tends to find winning hard, he can be in the finish on his first crack over fences. Shininstar and Hidden Cargo, who was backed on his chasing bow only to unseat, should be mixing it for minor honours.
