Valirann Gold (9/4), Greenrock Abbey (5/2), School For Scandal (6/1), Gaelic Thunder (15/2), Folly Gate (17/2), Madiba Passion (9/1), Ironhill (14/1), Treasure Dillon (66/1), Tremwedge (66/1), Luis Van Zandt (100/1), Dawn Wonder (150/1)

VALIRANN GOLD looked well suited by the marked change of tactics when making all at Chepstow last week and looks capable of defying a penalty given how much he had in hand that day. Folly Gate was about to shed his maiden tag before unseating his rider at Taunton last month so is the obvious threat, while there wasn't much between Greenrock Abbey and School For Scandal when 1-2 in a C&D handicap in November.
