Winterwatch (7/4), Small Bad Bob (4/1), Flash The Steel (6/1), In The Air (13/2), Fugitives Drift (8/1), Seaborough (9/1), Abuffalosoldier (14/1), Carolines Charm (14/1)

FLASH THE STEEL goes very well fresh and hails from a yard among the winners so is fancied to capitalise on a handy-looking mark on his return. Handicap-debutants Winterwatch and In The Air remain with potential and appeal as the duo to give Dan Skelton's veteran most to do in that order.
