Del Corso (4/1), Bird Of War (11/2), Aneirin's Sword (13/2), Venetian Romance (7/1), Saint Of The Sea (7/1), Kokoluna (17/2), Light The Night Up (17/2), Crimson Rambler (9/1), Bearin Up (11/1), Kokushoku (16/1), Gloriola (28/1), Smartanck (50/1)

SAINT OF THE SEA has returned a much-improved model, shaping better than the distance beaten suggests when third on qualifying run at Southwell 18 days ago. He's the type to raise his game further from appealing opening mark and earns the vote, with Kokushoku, who is equipped with a first-time visor another to consider. Crimson Rambler and Bird of War can also figure. Del Corso commands a market check.
