Calipto (3/1), Cobra De Mai (4/1), Kayf Adventure (4/1), Knockgraffon (6/1), Drumlee Sunset (7/1), Bishops Road (7/1), Dell' Arca (14/1)

Knockgraffon will appreciate the better ground on offer and arrives in better shape than most having scored under this rider at Musselburgh in similar company. Kayf Adventure has been holding his form well but has paid the price with his handicap mark. Calipto and Drumlee Sunset would have to enter calculations off their falling marks if the market vibes were positive, but DELL' ARCA returns to chasing for the first time in over two years and having scored off this mark over hurdles in November. The nine-year-old is another who will be helped by the better conditions and the improved form of the stable is a further positive.
