Tawleed (6/4), To The Bar (7/4), Fangorn (13/2), Thunder Of Niagara (7/1), Nortonthorpe Boy (14/1), Broxi (50/1)

TAWLEED's opening mark could easily underestimate him judged on his 2-y-o form, so he's fancied to strike on his first foray into handicaps. Fangorn was still green when second over C&D 17 days ago and remains with potential, as does To The Bar, who wasn't seen to best effect on his recent return at Lingfield.
