The Holy One (7/2), Milliner (5/1), Court Maid (5/1), Jack Dillinger (5/1), Gallant John Joe (7/1), Minella Times (7/1), Court Tycoon (8/1), Clash Of D Titans (12/1), Petit Tartare (12/1), Vanellope (25/1), Rock Road (25/1), Vinnie The Hoddie (25/1), Vocarium (25/1), Mysloegin (33/1)

Five-year-olds have won three of the previous four runnings and GALLANT JOHN JOE can add to that record judged on his recent victory. The fifth that day has run well since to earn a mark off 116 and that suggests the selection has got in lightly here given his scope for further improvement. Jack Dillinger was impressive last time but the handicapper has retaliated, nevertheless a line through the third gives him the edge over hat-trick seeker Court Maid. Milliner and Minella Times both need to improve, but the current form of their yard makes that a possibility.
