Pinar Del Rio (11/4), Fiach Mchugh (3/1), National Gallery (4/1), Esculenta (4/1), Torn (9/1), Solar Breeze (14/1), Tut Tut (16/1), Shanghai Dragon (28/1), Strapped (28/1), Mudamer (40/1), Chestnutter (40/1), Dairerin (40/1)

NATIONAL GALLERY is worth another chance in handicaps off this mark given the form of his maiden win. Fiach Mchugh has made an excellent start to the season and remains of interest, while Torn shaped as if needing her comeback and remains with potential.
