Lisbane Park (8/11), Doctor Blue (2/1), Kapitein Kool (7/2), Maximum Benefit (33/1), Dalcassian Girl (80/1), Miss Jaffa Cake (125/1), Follow The Plan (150/1), Forest Hills (300/1)

Sam Thomas' useful Ascot scorer DOCTOR BLUE holds the clear edge on form and is worth forgiving his latest Doncaster sixth when reported to have bled so he gets the vote over Lisbane Park who acquitted himself really well pitched into handicap company when third at Windsor and rates a big danger back in maiden company. Kapitein Kool is proving progressive and should also be on the premises.
