Primal Focus (2/1), Bramble Brook (11/4), Calin Du Brizais (7/2), Lex Talionis (7/2), Polished Rock (11/2), Lord In Red (10/1)

Verdict

Assuming he's none the worse for his final fence tumble at Fakenham last month, PRIMAL FOCUS is fancied to make amends and finally get off the mark. In an open affair the top weight Calin Du Brizais and is one of the few guaranteed to see out the trip, while Bramble Brook also stays well and may improve on this decent ground. Lex Talionis is another with a squeak if back to his best.
