Red Pike (7/2), Plough Boy (4/1), Dark Defender (4/1), Saryshagann (9/2), Afandem (11/2), Golden Steps (6/1), Dalton (10/1), Bobby Joe Leg (16/1)
A chance is taken on SARYSHAGANN. Making his stable/British debut here having joined David O'Meara, he appeals on the basis of some good efforts in France, including in much tougher races than this. He's been off a year but has previously won after a break and this opening mark of 90 may underestimate him. He could get the better of Red Pike, who should improve for his return run last time at Ripon, while the Irish raider Plough Boy should also go well.
