Saunton Surf (11/8), Tropical Image (5/2), Coolboy Christy (10/3), Anodandawink (5/1), Coppola (6/1), Schiehallion (10/1), Kalsman (12/1), Welcome Back (16/1), Huntsgrove (20/1)

SAUNTON SURF was denied only late on making her chasing debut at this course last month and she can gain compensation this time around. She is taken to see off the challenge of Tropical Image, who left her first effort over fences behind when runner-up at Listowel 12 days ago, with Coppola also considered.
