Esmeray (13/8), Lightening Company (6/1), Toshizou (6/1), Bolster (13/2), Forceful Speed (15/2), Baryshnikov (17/2), Thundering (16/1), Lord Protector (33/1), Euchen Glen (33/1)

Steadily progressive in novice/maidens, ESMERAY shaped better than the bare result when third on handicap debut at Newbury when last seen in September, making her effort earlier than ideal. Appealing as being on a handy mark, she looks a big player on return. Last year's winner Lightening Company and Forceful Speed are others to consider, with Baryshnikov another in the mix.
