Competition (6/4), Life Knowledge (5/2), Druid's Diamond (13/2), Royal Cosmic (7/1), London Glory (10/1), Dirty Randy (20/1), Melabi (33/1), Xpo Universel (33/1), Starshell (50/1), Colonel Forster (100/1)

Dirty Randy was well backed ahead of his last start eight months ago and it will be interesting to see if the money comes again. A market check is also needed for Starshell who returns to this sphere on a good mark having had a wind operation since last seen. Preference though here is for ROYAL COSMIC who has been slowly coming to hand and should be more than capable of picking up a race of this nature off her current mark.
