Iberio (5/2), The Changing Man (3/1), Apple Rock (9/2), Time To Tinker (7/1), Go Chique (7/1), Moonamacaroona (11/1), Presenting Jeremy (12/1), Fountains Chief (12/1), Moon King (14/1), Republican (22/1), Itacare (25/1), Bobalot (25/1), Huntsmans Jog (40/1), Bluffmeifyoucan (50/1), Invictus Smart (66/1)

A competitive handicap. IBERIO has had his latest Chepstow second boosted by the winner going in again since and he might be able to get his head back in front now returning to the scene of his 2 wins last season. The Changing Man and Apple Rock, who go in search of a 4-timer and hat-trick respectively, head the many possible dangers along with Time To Tinker and Go Chique.
