Noble Savage (5/2), Norley (10/3), Majestic Merlin (9/2), New Zealander (9/2), Amelia's Dance (11/2), Peloric (13/2), Sarceaux (18/1), Ascot Day (20/1), Gaelic Thunder (80/1)

Having found only a well-handicapped rival too strong at Exeter, NORLEY went one better in ready fashion at Stratford 3 weeks ago and his revised mark looks well within range. Noble Savage and Majestic Merlin are feared most unless there's confidence in the betting behind New Zealander.
