Simple Star (5/2), Yorkindness (5/1), Pons Aelius (6/1), Tailorman (6/1), Zephlyn (13/2), Trojan Sun (7/1), Rory The Cat (7/1), Show No Fear (11/1), Two Auld Pals (14/1)

SIMPLE STAR was just edged out when third here last time but remains on a handy mark so is fancied to resume winning ways at the chief expense of Beverley scorer Pons Aelius. Rory The Cat must also enter calculations on the back of his recent course success.
