King Ulanda (4/5), French Emperor (4/1), Stroll On By (9/1), Lucky Bere (10/1), Douglas Dc (10/1), Aquifolia (25/1), Farhh Echo (25/1), Our Dylan (33/1), El Gavilan (33/1), Amazing Cleni (40/1), L'empire Vert (40/1), Secret Vino (50/1), Quinn's Reward (50/1), Hidol Du Livet (50/1)

KING ULANDA scored by 11 lengths in a conditional jockeys' event at Carlisle last week and will take plenty of stopping off the same mark if coping with 2 outings in quick succession after a break. The booking of Harry Cobden for Lucky Bere suggests Kayley Woollacott's charge could be ready to go on reappearance after wind surgery and he's second choice ahead of Douglas Dc, who has been knocking on the door here this season, and Stroll On By.
