Just the five runners but none are ruled out, though Mister Allegro has been out of sorts. Limelighter got back to winning ways here 10 days ago but is now penalised. VORASHANN is back over this trip for the first time since successful over course and distance last September. He is also 4lb lower with Caoilin Quinn claiming a further 7lb. Bucko's Boy found only one too good at Hexham last month and Greystoke is unexposed in handicaps and didn’t get the run of the race last time at Stratford.
