No More Bolero (9/4), Blue Tempus (9/4), Churchman (4/1), Dexter (8/1), East End Girl (9/1), Battle Of Omdurman (14/1), Bluenose Belle (18/1), Esteban (33/1), Fight For It (40/1), Now Then Wendy (50/1), L'air Du Large (50/1), Ramaah (100/1)

A winnable low-grade handicap and BLUE TEMPUS could be worth another chance in receipt of a handy 3-y-o weight allowance. No More Bolero may prove the main danger back over hurdles, the booking of Harry Codben catching the eye, while L'Air du Large is one to note for support on his handicap debut.
