Tommie Gun (15/8), Trust House (7/2), Snapius (11/2), Achille Des Rocs (9/1), The Grey Man (12/1), Copper Cove (12/1), Pyrotechnic (12/1), Inferno Sacree (14/1), Les's Jersey Royal (16/1), Lumi Plugin (25/1), Feel The Pinch (40/1)

There could be better to come from TRUST HOUSE in this sphere and he is taken to reverse last month's Lingfield placings with Snapius. Olly Murphy's charge is better off at the weights with that rival now and was a very decisive winner over this C&D 13 days earlier. While Snapius is not discounted, the unexposed Achille des Rocs and Inferno Sacree may emerge as the main dangers to Trust House this time. Tommie Gun is on a workable mark but he ideally needs a stiffer test.
