Curley Finger (5/2), Warriors Story (11/4), Fabuleux Du Clos (11/2), Split The Bill (8/1), Animore (9/1), Rowdy Rustler (10/1), Firth Of Forth (11/1), Better Getalong (11/1), Hoganville (12/1), The Navigator (16/1), Ryedale Racer (80/1)

It may be worth siding with SPLIT THE BILL, who took a step forward when fourth on his handicap debut at Perth 13 days ago and he promises to be suited by this further step up in trip. Fabuleux du Clos has to be respected on the back of his breakthrough success at Newcastle in March, while cases can also be made for the likes of Animore, Better Getalong and Warriors Story.
