Popular Dream (6/5), Beelzebub (13/8), Fierce (5/1), Sofia Cat (6/1), Radio Goo Goo (6/1), Baahill (7/1), Ertebat (17/2), Fornham St Martin (33/1), Annie Law (40/1), Opportunity Knocks (150/1)

The stronger of the divisions on paper in which BEELZEBUB is fancied to make it third time lucky after leaving his debut effort behind switched to a synthetic surface at Lingfield recently. Second choice is Fierce, who is getting better with each run and should be capabale of making his presence felt back in this company. Baahill and Popular Dream both have plenty to recommend them on paper so they're both worth a market check.
