Looping D'arc (6/5), Loaded And Locked (2/1), Race To Base (3/1), Donegal (14/1), Glancing Jack (20/1), Guardami Ancora (33/1), Lady Magic (40/1), Western Cross (66/1), Glancing Back (150/1), Boston Savr (250/1), Ahanaglogh (300/1), Ciao Bellisima (300/1), Triple Haych (300/1), Lootenay (300/1)

A few to consider with C&D winner RACE TO BASE shading the vote having been beaten only by a couple of good prospects at Aintree. Fellow penalised-winner Looping d'Arc had a bit in hand when scoring on hurdles bow at Southwell so is next best ahead of French-recruit Donegal, who went close to making a winning start in this sphere at Doncaster.
