Saint Brandon (11/8), Iowntheball (4/1), Lost President (9/2), Gran Habano (5/1), Fortuna Vera (17/2), Amber Blossom (12/1), Habari (25/1)

LOST PRESIDENT relished the step up in trip when off the mark over C&D 2 weeks ago and he had enough in hand that day to suggest he can defy a 7 lb rise. Fortuna Vera confirmed debut promise whe scoring here in November and should have more to offer still, while Habari is a potential improver switched to a handicap.
