A Fine Claret (15/8), Grey Operations (5/1), The Last Time (15/2), Causin A Commotion (8/1), Top Biller (9/1), Lima Sierra (9/1), Wondrous Ways (12/1), Prada On Parole (14/1), Baileys Honeymoon (20/1), Little Bittern (25/1), Miss Pocket Rocket (40/1), Lily's Symphony (80/1)

A FINE CLARET was well suited by the strong pace when opening his account over C&D 13 days ago, never far away and running on to see off the re-opposing Grey Operations by 1¼ lengths. Karl Burke's 3-y-o is fancied to confirm those placings here, with Wolverhampton-scorer Top Biller another to consider. Little Bittern is a handicap debutant to note, particularly if strong in the betting.
