Janika (5/2), Siruh Du Lac (6/1), Ballyhill (7/1), Activial (8/1), War Sound (8/1), Brelan D'As (9/1), The Kings Writ (10/1), Forest Des Aigles (14/1), Casse Tete (16/1), Oldgrangewood (20/1), Sizing Platinum (40/1)

THE KINGS WRIT is still on a workable mark and would be bidding for a four-timer here if he hadn't of fallen at Chepstow two starts back. Janika is an obvious danger while Brelan D'As isn't ruled out for last year's winning connections.
