Celestial Force (15/8), Mancini (4/1), Diocletian (9/2), Fun Mac (7/1), Jabbaar (15/2), My Reward (9/1), Manjaam (12/1), Paddys Motorbike (12/1), Twin Star (16/1)

CELESTIAL FORCE should attack from the front and he has plenty of stamina in his reserves to make him a tough nut to crack. He looks to be on the up again and conditions should be ideal. Jabbaar is so reliable it's very hard to see him not going close once again while Paddys Motorbike has been well tried over further since his win following an over two year absence and should fare better back in distance for his in-form yard.
