Dogged (2/1), Billy Roberts (5/2), Virgo (11/4), Night Bear (4/1), Persuasive Powers (5/1), Headingley (12/1), Busby (16/1)

BILLY ROBERTS arrives in form and is probably the most solid option. Persuasive Powers is capable off this mark if back to the level of her first 2 outings this year and heads the dangers along with Dogged who has been quite consistent since joining Rebecca Menzies.
