For Jim (15/8), Hitman Fred (3/1), More Buck's (3/1), Istimraar (4/1), Graystown (5/1), Astute Boy (7/1), Buckled (11/1), Muroor (12/1), Katalystic (16/1), So Satisfied (22/1), Apache Pilot (25/1)

In good form between the flags in recent months, MORE BUCK'S is appealing back over fences off a potentially handy mark. He is a viable alternative to probable favourite, the hat-trick seeking For Jim, who easily brushed Muroor aside at Hexham and is feared greatly. Astute Boy is worth a second look, for all that he was disappointing last time, and Buckled is not without hope either.
