Two To Tango (5/2), Lumi Plugin (11/4), Smugglers Haven (7/2), A Tickatickatiming (5/1), Roman Roy (7/1), Gloire D'Athon (22/1), Baddesley (25/1), Brave Jen (80/1)

There's a couple in here who need to be ridden positively, and that could set the race up for the more patiently handled LUMI PLUGIN who has been knocking on the door of victory. Course-winner A Tickatickatiming merits plenty respect from her falling handicap mark, while Smugglers Haven remains of interest in her bid for a hat-trick. On first run since wind surgery, Two To Tango is also a player if bouncing back from a disappointing effort.
