Dixieland Blues (6/4), Wicked (3/1), Muhaajim (7/2), Grizedale (10/1), Venezuelan (11/1), Jupiter Ammon (18/1), Aqab (33/1), Duca Di Lucca (33/1), Vino Sauro (40/1), Take The A Train (66/1)

DIXIELAND BLUES probably bumped into a good one at Kempton 3 weeks ago and he looks more than capable of winning one of these. Venezuelan left his debut run well behind when second at Lingfield and rates the main threat on his 3-y-o return, while Muhaajim was far too green at Newmarket and should leave that behind in due course.
