Ballymillsy (13/8), Dragon Bones (15/8), Bobhopeornohope (9/2), Ballingers Corner (11/2), South Terrace (15/2), Byzantium Lad (17/2), Arctic Footprint (50/1), Family Pot (125/1)

BALLYMILLSY was unlucky to bump into a thriving rival when attempting to follow up at Warwick and he sets the clear standard on these terms back in a novice. Bobhopeornohope was beaten by more than a rise in class at Doncaster but has been given plenty of time to recover, with Ballingers Corner also of interest.
