Antartica De Thaix (9/4), Briery Belle (5/2), Magic Money (11/4), Plaisir D'Amour (6/1), Storming Strumpet (10/1), Bagging Turf (10/1), Timon's Tara (33/1)

The progressive ANTARTICA DE THAIX looks the one to side with here as she bids to complete a four-timer despite giving weight away all round. Magic Money comes here after a hard recent race and you have to worry if that race has left its mark with Plaisir D’Amour and Briery Belle preferred to her for that reason.
