Moonlight Glory (10/3), Socks Off (10/3), Les's Legacy (7/2), Star Vantage (7/2), Fabuleux Du Clos (7/2), Serious Ego (11/2), Peaceful Sunday (10/1), Applaus (18/1), Houston Bere (50/1)

Plenty with chances. LES'S LEGACY was possibly just stretched by 23f at Kelso last time and gets the nod back over shorter at a track where he has a good record. Star Vantage, Fabuleux du Clos and Serious Ego head the dangers.
