De Name Escapes Me (9/2), Cadmium (5/1), Cubomania (6/1), Landofhopeandglory (13/2), Whisperinthebreeze (7/1), Speaker Connolly (7/1), Livelovelaugh (8/1), Vieux Morvan (8/1), Black Scorpion (8/1), Any Second Now (12/1), Fitzhenry (12/1), Bel Ami De Sivola (16/1), Last Goodbye (20/1), Scoir Mear (20/1), Valseur Lido (25/1), Gusty Rocky (33/1), Doctor Phoenix (40/1)

A wide-open renewal of this contest but it might be worth siding with FITZHENRY in the first-time blinkers. He's a consistent sort who performed well over 3m here last time out and a 2lb rise for that effort is fair. Owner JP McManus has a strong hand in the race also saddling the likes of Any Second Now and Scoir Mear who have solid each-way claims but Cadmium may be the main danger back in a handicap after some respectable efforts in Graded company.
