Great Bedwyn (9/4), Cabrera (7/2), Letsbefrank (9/2), Serenity Blue (7/1), Brielle (8/1), Fast Fred (10/1), Penzance (20/1), Optician (22/1), Valley Of Flowers (28/1), Damascus Steel (28/1), Eroico (28/1), Spanish Hustle (80/1)
If GREAT BEDWYN is in the same form as when second at the York Dante meeting he may be able to go one better and deny Letsbefrank a £100,000 bonus for 3 wins in this series. Optician made quite an encouraging return to action at Southwell last month and also makes the shortlist.
