Walt (7/2), Valadom (4/1), Special Prep (9/2), More Buck's (7/1), Swingbridge (15/2), Ballykan (8/1), Red Giant (10/1), Progress Drive (11/1)
With Valadom and More Buck's in attendance this will be run at a solid gallop. That should suit SPECIAL PREP, who travels like a dream in his races and stays a bit further than this, so won't fail for a lack of stamina either. Walt may be the one to give him the most to do, having already won a big handicap this season and can easily be forgiven his latest run on ground too soft.
