Strong Johnson (7/2), Princess Karine (7/2), Khabib (4/1), Northcliff (17/2), Vadamiah (10/1), Betweenthesticks (10/1), Canaria Queen (10/1), Ecclesiastical (10/1), American Star (11/1), May Blossom (14/1)

A tight-knit sprint but KHABIB caught the eye when fourth over 6f at Redcar last time and gets the nod with this return to his optimum trip a big plus. In-form top-weight May Blossom brings solid credentials to the table and is feared most ahead of recent Musselburgh scorer Princess Karine.
