Rodney Bay (5/4), Bella Bliss (3/1), Downtown Queen (4/1), Superlike (13/2), Brown Monday (12/1), Sergeant Moss (25/1), Woolfie Smith (25/1), Kalanisi Dubh (40/1), Crabtrees Rebel (80/1)

RODNEY BAY consistently achieves a fair level of form and this is a decidedly weak contest so, back up in trip, he's an obvious choice to gain a deserved first win. Downtown Queen can trouble the selection if back from five months off in form, and Bella Bliss' bumper form gives her some sort of chance on hurdling bow.
