Magic Gem (3/1), Heerathetrack (3/1), Bluebells Boy (5/1), Poetic Jack (6/1), Bo Taifan (9/1), Kodi Noir (11/1), Daphne May (16/1), Global Effort (16/1), Miss Billie (28/1), Primrose Maid (66/1)

MAGIC GEM is lightly raced for his age and produced an excellent first effort for this stable when runner-up at Newcastle on return, so he's fancied to go one better in a thin race. Heerathetrack looks the obvious danger and Daphne May could take a hand if the drop in trip doesn't catch her out.
