Art Of Diplomacy (5/2), Stratton Oakmont (4/1), Uokhun (11/2), My Gift To You (7/1), Caher Roes Den (8/1), For Gina (9/1), Ballela Blaze (11/1), Rare Clouds (22/1), Jackpot D'athou (25/1), Zacony Rebel (66/1)

A few with chances but Tim Easterby's UOKHUN has taken his form up a notch since tackling staying trips and is fancied to resume winning ways having been scuppered by a late mistake when seventh at Musselburgh last time out. Ballela Blaze heads the list of dangers on the back of an improved Plumpton second, with the handily-weighted Stratton Oakmont and in-form pair My Gift To You and Art of Diplomacy also in the mix.
