Reaching High (3/1), The African Queen (7/2), Primo Lara (9/2), Crimson Road (13/2), Midnight Rumble (8/1), Marefuori (8/1), Blessed Boy (8/1), Blue Collar (20/1)

THE AFRICAN QUEEN improved a chunk to make a successful handicap debut at Brighton 9 days ago and, for all that this looks a better race, she's worth a chance to make all. Blessed Boy remains with potential and Reaching High is another one of a few interesting handicap debutants.
