Red Tea (4/1), Rockwood (5/1), Magic City (11/2), Abushamah (8/1), Sands Chorus (10/1), Zodiakos (10/1), Alejandro (14/1), Sunnua (14/1), Auspicion (14/1), Gerry The Glover (16/1), Westward Ho (16/1), Sovereign Bounty (16/1), Finn Class (20/1), Suitor (40/1), Shearian (40/1), Lord Franklin (66/1)

A fairly strong handicap for the grade with quite a few having opportunities although those with a wide draw may need some luck in-running. Magic City and Rockwood are both best coming from off a strong pace and should get a race that sets up well for them here. With the Ruth Carr stable in good form a solid run is expected from Abushamah and Westwood Ho could well be worth another chance in a handicap. RED TEA shaped well on her return on the AW and her strong travelling style looks as though it will be suited by the way this race will be run.
