Rock On Fruity (9/4), Red Giant (10/3), William Of Orange (4/1), Dr Robin (5/1), Aaron Lad (13/2), Fact Of The Matter (8/1), Dawson City (10/1), Gangster (10/1), Nakadam (12/1), So Satisfied (25/1)

The refitting of a visor and return to this trip are both potential catalysts for a big effort from RED GIANT, who is on an appealing mark and can prove a tough nut to crack when on his game. Rock On Fruity and William Of Orange both arrive on the back of comfortable victories and are solid alternatives.
