Smarty Wild (5/2), Erick Le Rouge (10/3), Pistol Whipped (7/2), Espoir De Romay (4/1), Evander (4/1), The Bay Birch (11/2), Mahlervous (6/1), A Toi Phil (14/1), Theinval (14/1), Not Another Muddle (16/1), Espoir De Teillee (16/1), Ibis Du Rheu (18/1), Mind's Eye (25/1), Princeton Royale (33/1)

SMARTY WILD was the only one to get involved from off the pace at Ascot 3 weeks ago and probably has more to offer in this sphere after only 3 outings. Evander would also be high on the shortlist if running here rather than at Wincanton. Last year's winner Erick Le Rouge could bounce back to form with a big run after a wind op.
