Hermes Boy (4/9), Tarahumara (9/4), Hartnoll Hero (12/1), Castle Quarter (14/1), Codebook (50/1), Pot Of Paint (50/1), Jellicle Jewel (50/1), Dogem By Design (50/1), Diamond Jack (50/1), Vendange (80/1), Lord Bill (100/1), Half Nelson (100/1), Lindisfarne (125/1), Shielded (150/1)

Not a lot of strength in depth here so a good chance for HERMES BOY to atone for a wayward display off the bridle at Hereford 3 weeks ago. Tarahumara is the obvious threat.
