Epsom Des Mottes (7/2), Sporty Yankee (4/1), Hitman Fred (4/1), Cheers Jd (4/1), Meldrum Way (13/2), Duty Girl (8/1), Leverock Lass (22/1)

Hitman Fred is yet to fulfil his potential for Rose Dobbin, although the bulk of last seasons efforts can be safely ignored (stable under a cloud). Meanwhile Cheers Jd is effectively 5lb lower (with the claim of Joe Williamson) than when a well-backed third at Sedgefield on Boxing Day. However, the selection is the much-travelled SPORTY YANKEE who is surely well-handicapped on the back of a brief spell with Aytach Sadik. He showed signs of a return to form when runner-up on similarly testing conditions at Fairyhouse (2m7f) three weeks ago. Furthermore, he has the assistance of the excellent Fergus Gregory in the saddle.
