Whispering Affair (9/4), Toi Storey (3/1), Robinesse (3/1), Speak Of The Devil (4/1), Pieceoftheaction (12/1), Epsom Des Mottes (28/1), Into The Breach (33/1), Mymilan (50/1), Forest Fusion (80/1), Trans Des Obeaux (125/1), Sailing Away (250/1), Samba Time (250/1), Bow Street Runner (250/1)

Very few enter the reckoning in what represents a golden opportunity to break the maiden for those on the short-list. Robinesse clearly has ability but evidently has had issues and she's surely reaching the last chance saloon for Oliver Sherwood. Similarly Whispering Affair is a longstanding maiden, although it's worth acknowledging that she's shown consistent form since joining Ian Williams. Speak Of The Devil is potentially the best long-term prospect but he looks in need of more experience and cost plenty at £65,000. Therefore, the confident form-based option is December's C&D third TOI STOREY for the Sedgefield trainer Rebecca Menzies.
