Al Gaiya (10/3), Recuerdame (7/2), Captain St Lucifer (11/2), Donya (7/1), Anniemation (17/2), Maharashtra (9/1), Golden Age (10/1), Roby Mill (11/1), Turn Of Phrase (14/1), Trooper Cooper (20/1), Marie Paradis (22/1), Caribbean Spring (25/1), Pips Tune (40/1), Amal (40/1), Mountrath (50/1), Cativo Ragazzo (66/1)

RECUERDAME is on a career low mark and he shaped well over C&D last month to suggest he isn't far away from winning. Proven over C&D, he makes most appeal in a trappy event. Al Gaiya has to be on the shortlist following her Kempton victory. Trooper Cooper may improve significantly on handicap debut and market support would be significant.
