No Turning Back (11/4), Elusive Tiger (3/1), Zakram (4/1), She's A Mirage (9/2), Calleveryoneuknow (8/1), Neptune Legend (18/1), Tiz Likely (22/1), Dutugamunu (25/1), Star For A Day (28/1), Aryaah (66/1), Certain Style (80/1)

A few in with a squeak but the vote goes to ELUSIVE TIGER, who has been knocking on the door of late and Archie Watson's 3-y-o can go one better than at Chelmsford just under a fortnight ago. No Turning Back went as close as she ever has when finishing runner-up here last month, so she's put forward as the main danger, with Zakram and Calleveryoneuknow another couple fancied to be involved.
