Sly Madam (10/3), Desfondado (10/3), Almarin (18/5), Cobalt Blue (4/1), Bear On The Loose (5/1), Dumfries (11/2), Serious Look (10/1)
SERIOUS LOOK got back on track after a breathing operation when fifth at Yarmouth last time and he has the potential to do better with cheekpieces applied back up in trip. Desfondado is a danger following his clear-cut C&D win recently and Cobalt Blue can't be ruled out.
