Cape Byron (2/1), Original Choice (10/3), Afaak (9/2), Baraweez (6/1), Isomer (7/1), Larchmont Lad (8/1), Third Time Lucky (8/1), Love Dreams (16/1), Mythical Madness (16/1), Qaffaal (25/1), Custom Cut (33/1)

David O'Meara has been in good form in recent weeks and Custom Cut ought to run well returned to a faster surface. Stablemates, Mythical Madness and Larchmont Lad aren't dismissed but preference is for BARAWEEZ after his win at Chester last week. The eight-year-old ran well throughout most of last season without being able to get his head in front and he ought to make his presence felt again now he's got a win under his belt. Isomer shouldn't be ruled out for last year's winning connections after a promising effort at Newmarket last time.
