Attention Please (3/1), Carlton Ryan (10/3), General Mahler (4/1), Lowanbehold (9/2), Golden Investment (7/1), By The Boardwalk (12/1), Gorsky Island (12/1), Royale Django (16/1), Ready Token (20/1)

A wide open contest, with several attempting to bounce back after recent mishaps. Attention Please is one of those and was set to mount a bold hat-trick bid at this track recently when he crashed out at the second last when in contention. From an unchanged mark, he commands respect. Golden Investment unseated last time at Catterick but represents a yard in super form and could bounce back now. The veteran Lowanbehold, winner over a marathon trip at Hexham on penultimate start, should get involved over this trip having again run well since at Ayr while Ready Token is potentially well handicapped if able to produce something near his best. General Mahler has scope over fences but CARLTON RYAN is perhaps the most dependable now. He appeared in need of the outing at Bangor last month, falling when beaten and tired at the last. He drops 3lb and get a useful 7lb claimed by today's returning rider. They are three from four in tandem, and can extend that strike rate now.
