Martinelli (5/2), Starting Monday (5/1), Migdam (11/2), Secret Magician (6/1), Thrifty Of Digby (7/1), Counterculture (8/1), Everylittlestep (10/1), Summer Snow (12/1), Circles (14/1), Church Mountain (16/1), Amanirenas (20/1), Vierson (22/1), Amavasya (25/1), Felicity Smoak (28/1), Carvalhal (33/1), Alto Sax (66/1)

MARTINELLI made a good return from 5 months off when third in a big-field Curragh handicap (1m) 6 weeks ago and, entitled to strip fitter for that, he looks a likely player from this mark. Secret Magician and Everylittlestep are others to consider. Counterculture completes the shortlist.
