Mountain Rock (8/11), Mischievious Max (5/2), Blue Empyrean (8/1), Scotch Beg (8/1), Out Of Africa (25/1), Rail Park Lad (66/1)

It could pay to stick with the proven stamina of SCOTCH BEG, who has already won a bumper at this course and she gets the nod as a value option in a tricky little race. Mischievious Max has his best days ahead of him and is respected as a live danger, while Mountain Rock is also on an upwards curve and it would be no surprise to see him involved in the shake-up.
