Roundhay Park (7/2), Savalas (7/2), Main Desire (4/1), Lord Riddiford (4/1), Eeh Bah Gum (7/1), Marnie James (10/1), Airglow (12/1), Bengali Boys (12/1), Fool For You (16/1), Hawaam (25/1), Angel Force (40/1)

Fine margins separated Lord Riddiford and Marnie James at Glorious Goodwood recently, and there's no reason as to why a similar scenario won't unfold here with a 1lb turnaround at the weights. Main Desire is unbeaten in two starts on the Knavesmire and bids to get her once promising career back on track at a reduced level, whilst Savalas is also respected. However, the finale can go to ROUNDHAY PARK who is 2lb higher than when runner up at Ascot (6f) a fortnight ago, but is a four-time 5f winner.
