Catlin (7/4), Maid Of Houxty (3/1), To The Limit (9/2), Le Grand Vert (11/2), Ballynagran (11/2), Not The Chablis (6/1), Diamond Road (66/1)

This appears to be a good opportunity for MAID OF HOUXTY to get off the mark, with a mere reproduction of her latest third at Ayr likely to prove good enough in this company. Catlin has to be feared given that she's unbeaten in 3 starts here and Nick Kent's charge is clear second choice ahead of To The Limit.
