Dearkeithandkaty (9/4), Thank You Blue (9/2), Avalon Beach (5/1), Benefit Ben (6/1), North Parade (6/1), A Mere Bagatelle (11/1), Tread Softly Now (16/1), Alidam (22/1), My Boy Christy (33/1), Lady Phoebe (40/1), Les's Legacy (66/1), Jakana (66/1)

THANK YOU BLUE won decisively over C&D 15 days ago and can go well again despite a 5 lb rise. Dearkeithandkaty confirmed earlier promise when scoring over 3m at Musselburgh 18 days ago and should again be thereabouts despite dropping back in distance, whilst Alidam and My Boy Christy are potential improvers in a competitive handicap for the grade.
