Speedo Boy (7/2), Westend Story (11/2), Christmas In April (8/1), Lygon Rock (10/1), Point Of Principle (12/1), Aye Right (12/1), Louse Talk (12/1), Dell Oro (12/1), Serosevsky (12/1), Lungarno Palace (14/1), Mellow Ben (14/1), Equus Millar (14/1), Mahlervous (20/1), Internal Transfer (20/1), Le Musee (33/1)

98-rated flat performer SPEEDO BOY could be thrown in off this weight. He won his second of three hurdles starts before getting bogged down here in a Grade Two but at this level carrying 10st 7lbs he makes plenty of appeal. Top-weight Westend Story is a big danger and was improving towards the end of last season while Christmas In April started this season with a very solid effort over C&D so he too merits respect.
