Northwest Frontier (11/8), Artful Rogue (5/1), Clemento (6/1), Riviere Argentee (7/1), Mystikana (10/1), Theglasgowwarrior (11/1), Akamanto (16/1), Hayward Field (25/1)

Quite competitive for the grade and plenty will favour the recent Catterick winner Riviere Argentee who had Clemnto behind last time (6lb better off) to follow-up although she’s not been the most consistent in the past. NORTHWEST FRONTIER has always looked as though he could do with a little further but this should provide a sufficient test and he’s taken to build on the promise that he showed last time. Artful Rogue is hardly a serial winner but features off a decent mark and he looks the pick of the yard’s two runners.
