Dearkeithandkaty (6/4), Authorized Mission (5/1), Bollin Matilda (13/2), Snowrocco (13/2), Romeo Brown (12/1), Scairp Dubh (14/1), Better Be Definite (14/1), Lets Mingle (16/1), Forged Well (18/1), Monsieur Le Fuzz (20/1), Kilmore Rock (22/1), Evenwood Sonofagun (22/1), Follow Charlie (22/1), Spit Spot (28/1), Star Vantage (40/1)

A case can be made for a few of these but DEARKEITHANDKATY rates the clear pick of the weights and looks very much the way to go with this step back up in trip also a plus. Bollin Matilda should also benefit from having her stamina unlocked more and is next on the list with Snowrocco, Romeo Brown and Monsieur Le Fuzz all well in the mix, too.
