Richmond Lake (5/2), Pay The Piper (7/2), Cornerstone Lad (4/1), Witness Protection (9/2), Amoola Gold (11/2), Destined To Shine (10/1)

DESTINED TO SHINE and Witness Protection have lengthy absences to overcome but both figure on tempting marks if all is well. Marginal preference is for the Kerry Lee runner before market clues. If that pair do fail to fire, last year's winner of this Cornerstone Lad could follow up.
