Katachenko (7/4), Ramonex (5/2), Takingrisks (5/2), Caraline (7/2), No No Mac (14/1), Un Guet Apens (16/1), Jet Master (18/1), Top Cat Henry (40/1)

Verdict

Katachenko is very much respected with soft ground to suit, but his CV suggests that from 4lb higher than his Aintree win he might find something to beat him and the suggestion is TAKINGRISKS. Nicky Richards' charge goes well here and is not beyond improvement after a decent reappearance. Ramonex and Caraline both come here in form and cannot be ruled out, though more is required of them, while Un Guet Apens could get heavily involved if the blinkers are a positive.
