Lizzie Luna (7/2), Leader Wing (7/2), Asa (4/1), Cher Tara (13/2), Beat The Retreat (7/1), Bollin Matilda (11/1), Reflection Of You (14/1), Dr Shirocco (20/1), Dee's Getaway (20/1), State Of Honor (28/1), Flying Sandpiper (28/1), Dreamings Free (33/1), Luminaries (40/1)

Returning to the scene of her sole previous win, LIZZIE LUNA produced her best effort in a handicap when third here last month and looks interesting stepping up to 3m. She's narrowly preferred to Leader Wing who went close over C&D last time and should be in the mix again sporting a change of headgear, while course bumper winner Reflection of You is on a workable mark if back to her best on return to hurdles.
