Sporting Mike (10/3), Gingerbred (7/2), King's Threshold (15/2), Riskintheground (15/2), Bumpy Johnson (17/2), Saturday Song (17/2), St Patricks Bridge (10/1), Marmalaid (14/1), Bombay Sapphire (14/1), Arthalot (16/1), Exmoor Forest (18/1), Tikitov (22/1), Commander Of Ten (50/1)

An open-looking handicap but there's a strong argument that SPORTING MIKE has the best piece of form on offer. He was thwarted only by the progressive Santos Blue at Wetherby on Boxing Day and is sure to benefit from a return to around 2½m, so he's put forward as the answer. Gingerbred, Saturday Song and Marmalaid are a trio of others to consider.
