Bob Ford (11/8), Brownville (9/2), Shanroe Santos (13/2), Capard King (10/1), Jennys Surprise (11/1), Smooth Stepper (12/1), Hansupfordetroit (14/1), Killala Quay (14/1), Barton Gift (40/1)

Ifs and buts about most of these with much depending on whether Bob Ford can improve on his recent Chepstow victory to defy an 8lb rise in the weights. He won decisively enough but, given the work that went into reinvigorating him, there is a risk punters may have missed the boat. Killala Quay and Capard King are inconsistent but more than capable of taking this if in the mood. Jennys Surprise is one of the more attractively weighted runners in this if fit and now the ground has turned soft enough. SHANROE SANTOS is another who has been given a chance by the handicapper. His recent Carlisle outing showed he was nearing the levels that brought two successes last season. Lucy Wadham's chaser has a lot going for him with Leighton Aspell back on board and perfect underfoot conditions.
