Sweet Reward (9/4), Wandering Rocks (10/3), Eklil (7/2), At Liberty (9/2), Balgair (11/2), Nonsuch Lad (6/1), Enough Already (13/2), Wonder Starelzaam (10/1), The Conqueror (12/1), Dotties Star (14/1)

It could be worth chancing WANDERING ROCKS, who is now 8 lb lower compared to when beaten less than 3 lengths on his reappearance at Kempton and this drop back in trip looks a good move having struggled at the business end in 1½m handicaps since. Last-time-out winners Eklil and At Liberty are live dangers, while Nonsuch Lad is another to consider. Also worthy of mention is Dotties Star, who hasn't shown much in maiden/novice company but is likely to be seen in a better light now handicapping.
