Massimo Blue (13/8), Sam's Hope (5/2), Nordic Glory (4/1), Saffredi (9/2), Initial Blue (5/1), Ten Club (7/1), Dolly's Delight (14/1), How's The Guvnor (16/1), Bella Love (18/1), Watermelon Sugar (22/1), Amerjeet (28/1), Juniper's Dream (33/1), Secret Road (50/1)

A 4 lb rise for NORDIC GLORY's C&D success last month doesn't look at all prohibitive and he is taken to strike again. It's easy to forgive Saffredi for what was a rare below-par display here recently and he will be a big threat if back in the groove, while the consistent Sam's Hope is third choice ahead of Ten Club.
