Racemaker (3/1), Smugglers Creek (4/1), Sultan Baybars (5/1), Mustaqbal (11/2), War Department (13/2), Testa Rossa (9/1), La Sioux (11/1), Pumaflor (16/1), Pudding Chare (16/1)

The new headgear has got RACEMAKER fancying the job again, with a win at Thirsk last month and two solid efforts since. He just about appeals as the likeliest in this field, where a few have their quirks. Pumaflor ran well at Hamilton over the weekend, though isn't certain to repeat the trick, while La Sioux has been held in two starts since a shock win at Redcar in May. War Department went well over C&D last week and should give his running while the penalised Smugglers Creek can go well after a recent win here over 7f and Sultan Baybars is now seemingly on a workable mark.
