Stronsay (9/4), Howzak (10/3), It Must Be Faith (4/1), Top Boy (5/1), Enchanted Night (11/2), Cool Spirit (10/1), Red Stripes (28/1), Lorna Cole (40/1), Tenth Century (50/1), Ruby Wonder (50/1), Tilsworth Rose (50/1)

ENCHANTED NIGHT ran well on her penultimate outing and looked like making all for much of the way at Kempton 8 days ago, just tying up badly having gone off hard. She's fancied to last out this time, although the unexposed Howzak and well-treated It Must Be Faith look formidable dangers.
