Fox's Socks, who has changed stables, and Bravantina could both figure if fully wound-up while Keeper Chris was still travelling when falling at Doncaster last month.

Fever Roque has placed a couple of times and should be thereabouts again with Zara's Universe and New Delhi Express possibly the pick of the remainder.
