Maclaine (13/2), Sharjah (7/1), Montgomery (7/1), Deeper Blue (7/1), Hitching Jacking (9/1), Marble Sands (9/1), Donny Boy (10/1), Ballycoose (11/1), Abuffalosoldier (12/1), Inch House (12/1), Mofasa (12/1), Young Buster (16/1), Special Rate (25/1)

An open affair with the vote going to MARBLE SANDS, who made it 2 from 2 for this rider at Musselburgh and still looks to be on a fair mark. Maclaine makes the shortlist given the manner of his stylish win at Newbury, while the classy Sharjah can make his presence felt down in class if his stamina holds up.
