Let's Sway (7/2), Old Jewry (4/1), Jedhi (13/2), Seapoint (7/1), Royal Cosmic (7/1), Christmas In Usa (11/1), Cilluirid (11/1), Unique Company (12/1), Tabou Beach Boy (12/1), Akkapenko (14/1), Excalibur (16/1), Espion De Saflo (25/1), Kisumu (33/1), Kitty Fisher (50/1)

OLD JEWRY has found a rich vein of form in recent weeks and might be able to notch another win here. Let's Sway has proved tricky to win with in recent times but she's more consistent than a lot of these and ought to be in the mix again. Seapoint shaped as if still in form over a trip too far last time and also makes the shortlist.
