Coniston George (15/8), Fingal's Hill (11/4), Horn Cape (9/2), Pay The Piper (6/1), Lihyan (13/2), Stylish Recruit (22/1)
Course-specialist HORN CAPE ran a fine race (after 10 weeks off) to finish third at this track last month, and he should be spot on for return to this longer trip and can record a fourth course success. Fingal's Hill produced a rare disappointing effort last time but he's the type to bounce back quickly and is feared, especially if Brian Hughes can poach an easy lead in this small field. Coniston George was back to his best when winning in first-time headgear and he's expected to go well again.
