Lady Roxby (10/3), Cuban Lady (10/3), Lightning Polka (4/1), Angel Love (6/1), Cinque Verde (15/2), Paradise Walk (9/1), Powdering (11/1), Anaisa (12/1), Orchid (12/1), Slay Queen (20/1), Fantasy Obsessor (22/1), Mercury Day (25/1), Lady Kodiac (28/1)

Having been progressive last year, LADY ROXBY shaped as if as good as ever when third on her recent Kempton return and with that outing under her belt, Michael Herrington's 4-y-o gets the nod to regain the winning thread. Paradise Walk has found one too good on all 3 starts so far and she may have to settle for silver once again, with Angel Love and Cuban Lady another couple to consider in an open-looking sprint to close the card.
