Monks Dream (9/4), Castan (11/4), Alligator Alley (11/2), Dark Kestrel (15/2), Our Absent Friends (15/2), Zarzyni (10/1), King's Crown (12/1), Herakles (25/1)

A further 2 lb nudge from the handicapper doesn't look enough to prevent CASTAN making it 4 in a row since fitted with cheekpieces. Monk's Dream and King's Crown arrive in form and can give Bryan Smart's charge most to do.
