Bucephalus (7/2), Norn Iron (7/2), Lightningupourdays (4/1), Dancing In Brazil (5/1), Knight Templar (13/2), Lively Citizen (12/1), Through The Ages (12/1), Kamaxos (12/1), Thereisnodoubt (18/1), Balboa (33/1), Lupus Regem (33/1), It's A Good Name (125/1)

Lots with chances so at the likely odds it is worth siding with Nigel Twiston-Davies' new recruit DANCING IN BRAZIL to capitalise on a handy mark and make a winning return. Harry Derham's lightly-raced Norn Iron looks to have better days ahead now handicapping and rates a big danger, while Bucephalus, Lightningupourdays and Knight Templar need factoring in too. Thererisnodoubt completes the shortlist.
