Rumba Bay (11/4), Royal Accord (7/2), Causin A Commotion (4/1), Freak Encounter (11/2), Bank On Kent (15/2), Due Respect (10/1), Woodhay Whisper (20/1), Trust Sergei (22/1), Rhodes Royce (25/1), Hala Joza (33/1), College Witch (33/1), Elland Road Girl (66/1)

This drop in trip could be a good move for FREAK ENCOUNTER, who faded close home after doing too much too soon in a 7f Kempton handicap last time. Rumba Bay, who was a couple of places ahead of the selection in that race, may also benefit from this drop back to 6f and she is feared most ahead of stablemate Bank On Kent and Due Respect.
