Battenburg Belle (5/2), Run This Way (5/2), Barmyblade (7/2), Miss Willows (4/1), Overbudget (6/1), Powernap (7/1)

RUN THIS WAY remained in good form after winning twice in the spring and makes appeal returning from almost 3 months off. Batternburg Belle and Barmyblade have both scored over C&D this season and rate the main dangers.
