Forge Meadow (9/4), Sandsend (11/4), Duca De Thaix (11/4), Dolciano Dici (7/1), Arcenfete (12/1), On The Go Again (14/1), Tandem (14/1), Destin D'Ajonc (20/1)

Sandsend is of obvious interesting dropping back in trip, especially given how keenly he raced in the early stages last time, but preference is for FORGE MEADOW. Although she hasn't always shown her true self in graded company her effort behind Let's Dance recently was an encouraging one, and she has previously won a Grade 2 over this C&D. Duca De Thaix won a Grade 3 last time out in testing conditions and is also one for the shortlist.
