La Yakel (7/4), Scampi (11/2), East Asia (11/2), Max Mayhem (6/1), Pride Of Priory (13/2), Wootton'sun (17/2), Youthful King (10/1), Soto Sizzler (14/1), Dark Jedi (18/1), Nolton Cross (18/1), Andaleep (18/1), Kitsune Power (28/1)
It's likely we haven't seen the best of LA YAKEL, who is still low mileage and made a very pleasing return here last month. He is fancied to score. Andaleep and Scampi have acquitted themselves really well this term and are also expected to make their presence felt.
