Passion And Glory (6/5), High Commissioner (5/1), Master The Stars (6/1), Final Voyage (13/2), Great Esteem (10/1), Crimewave (12/1), Lawn Ranger (22/1)

FINAL VOYAGE has built up a very good record on artificial surfaces, running right up to his best when a close-up fourth over 1m at Chelmsford recently. In receipt of his handy 3-y-o allowance, he gets the nod to capitalise now stepping up in trip. Crimewave, back on all-weather, and High Commissioner head up the dangers.
