Mamoon Star (9/4), My Friend Sean (3/1), Sailed Away (3/1), Nachtgeist (7/2), Bahtiyar (9/2), Lightening Gesture (5/1), Motazzen (14/1), Lady Salvador (14/1), Real Rewards (16/1), Harry Gulliver (28/1), Pollyonesock (40/1)

LIGHTENING GESTURE hasn't stood much racing since his juvenile days but his latest third Fontwell third on the back of 12 months off was an encouraging one and he's given the narrow vote to build on that now. Bahtiyar remains a maiden but comes here in good form and is a threat along with returning C&D winner Sailed Away. Harry Gulliver isn't one to give up on either provided he brushes up on his jumping.
