Merrijig (7/2), Placated (9/2), Anisoptera (5/1), Major Major (5/1), Star Legend (11/2), Greatness Awaits (13/2), Animato (17/2), Buxted Too (10/1), Baileys Warrior (11/1), Cahersiveen (25/1), Mickydee (40/1)

A few in with a squeak but MERRIJIG is a progressive stayer and having returned from 6 months off with a really likeable effort on all-weather debut over C&D last month, John Berry's lightly-raced 6-y-o gets the vote to complete the hat-trick at the expense of Star Legend, who was narrowly behind the selection in third last time. Placated and Buxted Too can do battle for minor honours.
