Okavango Delta (9/4), Jony Max (4/1), Dr Shirocco (11/2), Return Fire (13/2), Ribeye (15/2), Take Centre Stage (10/1), Halfway House Lad (11/1), Lisloran (14/1), Wearelongterm (20/1), Ex S'elance (25/1), Rufio (100/1)

The in-form JONY MAX was only just denied under a penalty at Taunton last month and should go well again. Return Fire and Dr Shirocco are closely matched on these terms judged on their form here 10 days ago and they head the dangers.
