Yeats Star (2/1), Charming Fortune (9/4), Talk In The Park (9/2), Musta Lovea Lovea (13/2), Pay The Tab (17/2), Figurehead (11/1), Nurse Garvey (40/1), Benzine (80/1), Crystal's Heir (200/1)

MUSTA LOVEA LOVEA should strip fitter with his reappearance under his belt and this looks a good opening for him on last season's form. Charming Fortune showed enough in a bumper to make him of interest now tackling obstacles, with Yeats Star another to consider.
