Silent Strike (5/4), Soul Love (15/8), Cotai Lights (5/1), Nursia (6/1), Bucklow Hill (6/1), Kimbara (13/2), With Glory (80/1)

One of the hottest novices of the winter so far with a raft of lightly-raced 3-y-os open to improvement. Preference is for SOUL LOVE, who overcame inexperience to make a winning debut in fine style at Southwell in November and Karl Burke's filly can remain unbeaten provided she's ready to roll. Fellow last-time-out winners Bucklow Hill, Silent Strike and Cotai Lights are feared most in that order.
