Boolamore Classic (5/2), Teddy Mac (10/3), Reagrove Lord (4/1), You Say Its Over (11/2), Rob Roy Macgregor (11/2), Ideal De Romay (7/1), Blended Stealth (12/1), Toucan Sam (40/1), Gold Ring (50/1)

ROB ROY MACGREGOR was out of sorts when last seen in the spring but, having been given a chance by the handicapper, Sandy Thomson's 7-y-o is afforded the tentative nod to open his account in this sphere. The main danger may emerge from Reagrove Lord, who ran close to best fitted in a first-time visor at Hexham last month and could well build on that here. Teddy Mac and Blended Stealth can fight out third.
