Scorsese (9/4), Tramuntana (9/4), Luminaries (8/1), Burning It Up (9/1), Aire Spray (9/1), Lightning Flash (9/1), Marty Mcfly (11/1), Caramelo Rapido (12/1), The Three J's (14/1), Upfordebate (18/1), Zainy Champ (22/1), Catcha Flight (33/1), Paddy The Panda (66/1), Foreva Alfie (80/1)

There should be more to come from TRAMUNTANA who can make light of a 5 lb rise for Huntingdon. Scorsese scored comfortably at Sedgefield and is second choice ahead of Burning It Up, a potential improver now stepping up in trip for his handicap debut.
