Grivetana (9/2), Nayati (9/2), Collingham (11/2), Kihavah (11/2), Lebowski (11/2), Parisencore (9/1), Socialist Agenda (11/1), Camprond (14/1), Inca Prince (16/1), Band of Outlaws (80/1)

Verdict

GRIVETANA had the ground as an excuse at Newbury last time. Her second in the Gerry Feilden there prior to that reads well and she can bounce back and provide the Paul Nicholls yard with a third win in this race since 2017. Stablemates Nayati and Collingham, first and second in a useful C&D contest on New Year's Day, can give the selection most to do ahead of Wetherby scorer Lebowski.
