Making Headway (6/4), Hasthing (9/4), East India Express (5/2), Paradias (11/2), Jack Black (17/2), Juan Bermudez (20/1), David's Well (25/1), Fourtowns (28/1), Salvatore (33/1), Sandmartin (33/1), Noble Don (50/1), Selwan (66/1), The Blueberry One (80/1), Ballybay (150/1), Chancellorstown (200/1), Platenium (250/1), The Big Man (250/1), Parsons Stone (250/1)

MAKING HEADWAY takes a drop in class and looks the pick on form with more to come. The promising Hasthing made it 2 from 2 over hurdles with a fair bit more in hand the margin suggested at Catterick and shouldn't be too inconvenienced by the drop in trip. East India Express completes the shortlist.
