Genever Dragon (3/1), Calliope (7/2), Charle Brune (5/1), Animore (7/1), Strong Team (15/2), That's Your Lottie (8/1), Nastasiya (8/1), Old Jewry (10/1), Balranald (22/1), Haveyougotmymoney (33/1)

Verdict

STRONG TEAM has dropped to a mark 9 lb lower than when taking this race 12 months ago so he might be worth siding with having run a bit better at Sedgefield last time. Genever Dragon is respected for the McCain/Hughes pairing, while Calliope is still more than capable of making an impact from her reduced mark.
