Bonny Kate (3/1), Sambremont (5/1), Baie Des Iles (8/1), Roi Des Francs (8/1), Folsom Blue (9/1), As De Pique (10/1), Canaly (11/1), Georges Conn (16/1), Captain Von Trappe (16/1), My Hometown (16/1), Riverside City (20/1), Mad Brian (25/1), Apache Jack (25/1), My Murphy (25/1), Toon River (33/1)

Top weight Roi Des Francs should find this just slightly easier than last time with 3lb back but it will require him to be at the peak of his powers to score. Canaly won nicely around here last month but faces a stiff task to back that up, My Hometown was pulled up in that race but can make a better fist of things having run with some promise. As De Pique has been consistent this season and should run another good race while Toon River has a chance on his best form. Baie Des Iles plugged on in the Welsh National and could present a danger having finished second in this 12 months ago but last year's winner BONNY KATE might get the job done again. She's still very much going the right way and despite being worse off at the weights with the runner-up she rarely runs a poor race and should give it a fair crack. 1. Bonny Kate 2. Baie Des Iles 3.
