Albatala (5/2), Mayos Vendangeur (10/3), Thisistheway (9/2), Miss Gitana (8/1), French Hill (8/1), Lady Rose Hackett (8/1), Doctor Nightingale (14/1), Katherine (16/1), Aurora Princess (33/1)

ALBATALA showed significant improvement when runner-up to a well-treated sort here last month and a reproduction of that form could be enough to see her go one better. Mayos Vendangeur is proving consistent and should make her presence felt once more, with Lady Rose Hackett worth another chance having shown promise prior to shaping as if amiss on her handicap debut.
