Jamaicaine (5/6), Joto (7/2), Somebodycomegether (10/1), Vanilla Dancer (11/1), Lillistar (12/1), The Last Drop (14/1), Keep It Cool (20/1), Snapaudaciaheros (20/1), Anamanda (22/1), Genies Girl (22/1), Little Soiree (80/1), Rhyme Scheme (200/1)

JAMAICAINE has proved a different proposition on her last 2 starts, making it back-to-back wins at Hereford with a strong-travelling success 11 days ago, so she is taken to land the hat-trick with more still to offer. Somebodycomegether has also been going the right way over hurdles and could be the main danger, ahead of Lillistar.
