At'em Donut (IRE) In the rear in two AW efforts although ran a little better than the bare form suggests last time; couldn't be a confident selection
Baby Be Making her debut at as 7yo so can't be fancied
Banjo Bay (IRE) Contested better events than this last year and could well have found a soft opportunity; has to be on the short-list
Justafancy His fourth at Kempton last time on second run brings him into things; another to consider
