Arctic Sea (7/4), Buckland Beau (4/1), Gerry The Glover (4/1), Classified (8/1), Cricklewood Green (10/1), Banta Bay (10/1), Spryt (12/1)
An ordinary contest in which most of the runners have questions to answer. Buckland Beau arrives with a win under his belt, however, and has to go on the short list even though he is not guaranteed to confirm Chelmsford form with Banta Bay on these terms. Cricklewood Green and Arctic Sea have to be considered off reduced marks, but a chance is taken with SPRYT, who is 5lb lower than when last successful over C&D and has run respectably without winning this season.
