Liamba (3/1), Charleston Belle (4/1), Duke Cosimo (13/2), Epeius (7/1), Santafiora (8/1), Avenue Of Stars (9/1), Danish Duke (9/1), Majorette (9/1), Pulsating (11/1), Mr Strutter (16/1), Decision Maker (16/1), Unnoticed (18/1), Another Angel (25/1), Racquet (33/1)

Epeius has hit a good run of form, rarely runs a bad race and has a good opportunity to gain a third career success on this drop in class. However slight preference is for MAJORETTE who gained a first win at Lingfield, showing a nice change of gears. She clearly needs a fast pace to quicken off and is likely to get that again and the narrow winning margin means she may still be ahead of the handicapper. Liamba may improve past Charleston Belle but both have the form to be competitive again.
