Muckle Roe (7/2), Aubusson (5/1), Lithic (5/1), Step Back (11/2), Potters Legend (8/1), Bally Longford (8/1), Aloomomo (8/1), Mosspark (14/1), Vino Griego (16/1), Tanit River (25/1)

A reasonably open look to this contest and POTTERS LEGEND is given the tentative vote to shrug off some modest recent efforts and come back to form from this mark. Bally Longford could pose a threat to the selection, while Mosspark, Lithic and potential improver Step Back are others for whom cases can be made.
