David John (9/4), Sarpech (9/4), The Way You Dance (5/1), Cry Fury (7/1), Antiphony (7/1), Oh Dear Oh Dear (16/1), Indian Rupee (16/1)

Despite the steadier of top weight, SARPECH may prove good enough now encountering better ground than when fading late on over C&D last time out. In a modest contest, David John might improve for the change of scenery on his first start for his new trainer and could make a race of it, while you couldn't completely rule out a return to form for The Way You Dance, for whom their appears a significant jockey booking. The rest have plenty of work to do to get into the shake-up.
