Red Ball Of Fire (7/2), Peckham Springs (9/2), Two Shoe Tom (6/1), Skippin Court (13/2), Ena Baie (13/2), Guido Reni (17/2), Donthavetime (11/1), Beat Of The Sea (12/1), The Dara Man (14/1), Mr Moondance (22/1), Jazz Ranger (33/1)

Verdict

Plenty in with a shout, including dual course winner RED BALL OF FIRE. She's been in good form over hurdles/on Flat in recent months and this mark looks within reach. Peckham Springs, Donthavetime and Ena Baie head up the dangers, whilst veteran Mr Moondance isn't ruled out either.
