Amalfi Bay (9/4), Night Eagle (4/1), Gyenyame (9/2), Saulire Star (5/1), Sisu (7/1), Blue Beret (15/2), Mirrie Dancers (10/1)
It could be worth chancing MIRRIE DANCERS, who has shown steady progress in 3 qualifying runs and is bred to be much better than an opening mark of 65. Night Eagle is another who may have more to offer, while Gyenyame is worth another chance.
