Artic Row (9/4), Monochromix (7/2), Coniston Clouds (9/2), Leading Force (9/2), High Moon (11/1), Low Mileage (18/1), Ardera Cross (20/1), Grand Voyage (20/1), Innovated (100/1), Chameron (125/1)

The winning margin was less than a length when ARTIC ROW got the better of Monochromix over C&D last month but, with all due respect to the latter, Nick Alexander's charge was value for extra and he is taken to strike again. Monochromix should be in the mix once more but a bigger threat may be posed by Coniston Clouds, who looked good on his chase debut. Leading Force is also of interest, while High Moon is dangerous to discount off a reduced mark.
