Beltane (9/4), Kentucky Bluegrass (7/2), Vaccine (5/1), Hartswood (13/2), Ventura Rascal (8/1), Devasboy (8/1), Mahanakhon (12/1), Tiger Beetle (18/1), Perfect Swiss (22/1), Fiftyshadesaresdev (25/1)

BELTANE has proven a much more reliable proposition this campaign, gaining his second victory this term and his first for Mick Appleby at Beverley 31 days ago, doing well to fend off one who was played later. Only 2 lb higher now, he gets the nod to continue the good work. 3-y-o Kentucky Bluegrass arrives in search of the hat-trick for a stable in very good form and is feared. Vaccine and Devasboy complete the shortlist.
