Yccs Portocervo (3/1), Beni Light (10/3), Henrietta Bell (5/1), Poker School (5/1), Mine's A Pint (6/1), Aeglos (10/1), Elkstone (12/1), Murray Mount (12/1)

With the hard to win with Poker School likely to be near the head of the market it could create an opportunity for something at a bigger price making the C&D winner BENI LIGHT of interest. He lacks a recent run but that C&D win came off a 116 day break last year when returning from the point-to-point sphere, he looks a value proposition. YCCS Portocervo ran a fair race on his chasing debut despite being beaten a fair way and he should build on that outing. Mine’s A Pint and Henrietta Bell also deserve to be considered in a competitive heat.
