Aworkinprogress (15/8), Minella Blueway (9/2), Pats Fancy (9/2), Jubilee Express (13/2), Makin'yourmindup (10/1), Stay Away Fay (12/1), Sporting Ace (16/1), Supervisor (16/1), Collectors Item (18/1)

Given his profile, it's hard to ignore the claims of AWORKINPROGRESS given he continues to pass each test in handicaps. From 4 lb higher, the 7-timer is firmly on the cards, with Jubilee Express and Pats Fancy feared most unless there's market support for Makin'yourmindup on his return from a lengthy absence.
