Saturday Song (3/1), Couldbeaweapon (10/3), Heros (7/1), Dr Sanderson (7/1), Fingal's Hill (15/2), Supreme Yeats (17/2), Hasty Brook (10/1), Royle Steel (11/1), Great Ocean (11/1), No Tackle (12/1), Perryville (25/1)

SATURDAY SONG shaped well when second in a novice at Uttoxeter last time and the step back up in trip is in his favour, so he's worth a chance to make a successful start in handicaps. Couldbeaweapon looks the main threat and Heros has shown more positive signs the last twice.
