Moonacura (3/1), Mickyh (10/3), High Grounds (9/2), Getaway Cory (5/1), Flintara (11/2), King Ferdinand (13/2), Sir Jack West (8/1), Oceans Red (12/1), Hiway One O Three (12/1), Captain Grinnaway (16/1), Just Toby (22/1), Ensel Du Perche (22/1), Maisiebella (66/1), Gyllen (80/1)

MICKYH seems to be getting better and another forceful ride should see him to good effect at this track, so he's preferred to the consistent Flintara in what strikes as a weak race on paper. Sir Jack West can't be ruled out and, on the off chance that High Grounds participates (entered at Bangor on Friday), he'd be a definite player.
