Muraad (3/1), Solid Stone (7/2), Pesto (7/2), Maamora (4/1), Alternative Fact (8/1), Rogue (12/1), Smile A Mile (14/1), Michele Strogoff (25/1)
Having gone oh-so close at Ascot latest on handicap debut MURAAD looks to have strong claims here and the fact that he never ran a bad race in three novice events further bolsters his claims. Relatively unexposed sorts Solid Stone and Maamora are both feared down in class having raced in hot handicaps latest.
