Taygar (10/3), Sacred Falls (7/2), Top Juggler (4/1), Monsieur Kodi (5/1), Infinity Blue (6/1), Montezuma (10/1), Catherine Chroi (11/1), Macedonian (14/1)

TAYGAR has been in excellent form, following a runner-up finish here with an impressive win at Ayr 5 days ago despite a poor start. Top Juggler, a course and distance winner, stepped up when third at Chester and should improve further. Monsieur Kodi was a solid third here last time and can go well again.
