Give Us A Swig (3/1), The Boat (7/2), Queen Of The Court (9/2), Lets Go Dutchess (15/2), Eaton Miller (9/1), One For Dunstan (9/1), Mr Katanga (10/1), Kingsmill Gin (16/1), Troed Y Melin (28/1), Swincombe Scorchio (50/1), Gorcombe's Rascal (66/1)

An encouraging third on his last couple of starts, GIVE US A SWIG, has been shaping as if this longer trip will bring improvement out of him, so he gets the nod to prevail in a race where the majority arrive out of sorts. Recent Market Rasen winner, The Boat, is a danger if his stamina lasts out, and Eaton Miller is one to monitor in the betting back from 9 months off.
