Shishkin (6/4), Empire Steel (9/2), Ga Law (6/1), Elvis Mail (6/1), Bill Baxter (10/1), Datsalrightgino (10/1), A Wave Of The Sea (12/1), Ciel De Neige (25/1)
A top-class sort at the head of the weights leaves more than half the field out of the handicap. GA LAW is one who can race off his correct mark and can leave his hurdle reappearance behind and add to his fine record in top handicap chases. There have to be doubts about Shishkin after he planted himself at the start at Ascot last weekend but he'll surely have a big say if setting off this time. The selection's stablemate Datsalrightgino will be a player if running here rather than Newbury.
