Mermaids Cave (13/8), Orbys River (4/1), Jamaicaine (5/1), Seasmoke (11/2), Janworth (6/1), Miss Popalong (8/1), Hey Day Baby (8/1), All Blues (11/1), Miss Mahmite (11/1), Princess Unique (18/1), Silver Bobbin (40/1)

The drop back in trip could suit SEASMOKE who is taken to build on her encouraging run at Ludlow a couple of weeks ago. Jamie Snowden's Janworth is a possible improver in handicaps and is next on the list. Orbys River would also firmly enter the reckoning if showing up here rather than Southwell on Tuesday.
