Love Warrior (3/1), Havana Smoke (4/1), Bateman (11/2), King's School (11/2), Strangerontheshore (10/1), King Sharja (12/1), Triple Force (16/1), Headabovetherest (16/1), Langton Wold (20/1), Loubiere (22/1), Retirement Beckons (40/1), Pop Favorite (40/1), Sweet Soul Music (40/1), Paddy Mayne (80/1)

HAVANA SMOKE stuck to his task well when runner-up at Beverley last time and with this straight 1m promising to suit, he's just about the most persuasive option. Love Warrior has transferred from one good yard to another and he's not yet exposed, with Strangersontheshore completing the shortlist.
