Witness Protection (1/1), Fern Hill (13/8), Conceal (5/1), Let Me Be (13/2), First Illusion (12/1), Henry Gondoff (25/1), Contrebasse (66/1), Western Starlet (66/1), Ballintogher Boy (125/1), Skipness (125/1), Ask The Question (125/1), Tunder Strike (200/1)

FERN HILL forged clear to score quite readily here 3 weeks ago and looks sure to be suited by this longer trip on that evidence, so he's a confident selection to follow up. Witness Protection impressed at Stratford after 13 months off and is the clear danger if backing up that effort.
