Gustavus Vassa (7/4), James Cook (9/2), Law Girl (9/2), Change Of Velocity (6/1), Sea The Lion (7/1), Boho (10/1), Breathe Easy (16/1), Le Vagabond (20/1), Share The Honour (25/1), Abjar (33/1), Grand Partner (40/1), Roconga (40/1)

CHANGE OF VELOCITY has been in excellent form and he's taken to land the hat-trick with a less exposed profile than many of his rivals. Share The Honour will appreciate the step up in trip after a respectable effort here over 1m2f last time out but Gustavus Vassa could be the main danger with more to come for this yard.
