Iron Heart (9/2), Takeit Easy (9/2), Gastara (5/1), Java Point (6/1), Sopran Thor (6/1), Sameer (7/1), Sorbet (17/2), Runswick Bay (10/1), Bashful Boy (16/1), Above Suspicion (20/1), Eaton Collina (20/1), Gemirande (22/1), Give Us A Swig (40/1), Flying Risk (150/1)

Plenty with chances in an intriguing handicap. GASTARA came home an eye-catching third at Sandown when set plenty to do and is fancied to open his account now with talented conditional Kevin Brogan again in the saddle. Takeit Easy heads the list of dangers on the back of his fine Cheltenham sixth, although Iron Heart, Java Point and Sopran Thor are others who are well worth a second look.
