Lion's House (4/1), Castan (5/1), Juan Les Pins (11/2), Our Absent Friends (6/1), Moonstone Boy (13/2), Water Of Leith (9/1), Harb (11/1), Blue Force (14/1), Digital (14/1), Albegone (16/1), Dark Kestrel (22/1), Pop Star (33/1)

An open-looking sprint with plenty of course regulars in action. Preference is for LION'S HOUSE, who was unlucky not to record back-to-back wins having a rare start away from this track at Wolverhampton last month and Linda Perratt's 5-y-o has more races in him from this mark. Our Absent Friends has held his form well since notching a third C&D win so heads up the dangers, with Juan les Pins and Digital also considered, too.
