Lahire (9/4), Balcomie Breeze (5/2), Admiral Fitz (7/2), Inoue (13/2), Kellie's Dream (12/1), Little Pi (16/1), Kazar Forez (22/1), Kuma Beach (50/1)
LAHIRE confirmed the promise of his previous effort only to lose the race in the stewards' room having hampered the runner-up at Market Rasen 2 weeks ago. Recent displays underline he's capable of defying this sort of mark and he makes the most appeal. Admiral Fitz and Balcomie Breeze are less exposed than most and head the dangers. Market confidence behind top weight Kazar Forez would also look significant.
