Tartlette (15/8), Blackstone Cliff (10/3), Spelga (9/2), Faakhirah (6/1), Tower Of Pisa (13/2), Longclaw (13/2), Landue (22/1), Alhajjaj (22/1), Approach The City (40/1)

BLACKSTONE CLIFF was unsuited by the steady pace when chasing home Spelga over C&D last week and, now 8 lb better off with that rival, he is taken to emerge on top this time. The selection's stablemate Longclaw has scored 3 times over hurdles since his latest run in this sphere and is feared off what looks a potentially handy mark, while the unexposed Tower of Pisa also enters calculations.
