Rishi (10/3), Miss Rainbow (7/2), Bestie (9/2), Miners Gamble (11/2), Showboated (7/1), Arlington (9/1), Soul Singer (9/1), Amazing Winnie (14/1)

BESTIE showed the benefit of a hood when posting a good fourth here last time out and rates the pick of the weights eased 1 lb so gets the vote. Rishi ended his time with Sir Mark Prescott with a good Wolverhampton fourth and is feared most now starting out with another good stable. In-form maiden Miss Rainbow appeals as the pick of the rest for minor honours.
