Aaron Lad (11/8), Linenhall (3/1), The Devils Drop (9/2), Potters Hedger (8/1), The Ogle Gogle Man (11/1), Trepuco Warrior (25/1), Pull Together (25/1), Royal Magic (33/1)

There is some potential in this opener and THE DEVILS DROP showed enough on his debut at Chepstow when tenderly handled (travelled well) to be of interest here especially as the one that finished right behind him won next time out. Aaron Lad will have his supporters for a yard who do well with their Irish imports and he along with Linenhall who is penalised for his Stratford win will form the main dangers to Alan King’s runner. Potters Hedger is entitled to come on for his debut as is the wonderfully named The Ogle Gogle Man who may well be suited by this stamina test.
