Game Player (11/8), Graphite Storm (9/2), Maksab (9/2), Diocles Of Rome (5/1), Charles Molson (17/2), Pettifogger (14/1)
DIOCLES OF ROME has won two of his three starts since being gelded and he can make a winning return to turf in this competitive small field handicap. Top weight Game Player ran well on seasonal debut last month and he can improve on that effort to finish runner-up ahead of Maksab who has a top jockey booked to ride in this contest.
