Fairly Fulling (9/4), Lester Mail (11/4), Abbey Scope (3/1), Joto (4/1), Livano Bello (11/2), Disco Annie (6/1), William Yeats (10/1), Nitty Gritty (12/1), Larkfield Lusive (12/1), Cher Tara (14/1), She Won't Mind (14/1)

LESTER MAIL wasn't able to justify support when a never-nearer fourth on handicap debut here last time, but with this longer trip promising to suit he could still have more to offer given his bumper form. He is preferred ahead of Joto, whose third at Catterick on penultimate start has been boosted since, with William Yeats also one to note.
