Creative Control (5/6), Enfin Phil (3/1), The Dancing Poet (5/1), Sheriff Garrett (11/2), The Vollan (8/1), Dakota Beat (28/1)

CREATIVE CONTROL comes here firmly on the up and is fancied to complete a quick hat-trick after his smooth Doncaster success on his handicap bow. Enfin Phil is weighted to have a big say too and is next best, although The Vollan needs considering too after a solid C&D third for his good new yard.
