Sarah's Verse (3/1), Magnificence (5/1), Beyond Equal (7/1), Symbol of Hope (7/1), Airshow (15/2), Parisiac (15/2), Connie's Rose (8/1), The Princes Poet (11/1), Ruby Cottage (18/1), Glamorous Express (25/1), Reve De Magritte (40/1)

THE PRINCES POET caught the eye at Newbury last time and Eve Johnson Houghton's gelding tops the shortlist here, with the strong pace likely to play to his strengths granted more luck in running. Magnificence isn't the most reliable but she'll be hard to knock out of the frame if in the same form as when a close second at Ffos Las last time, whilst course-specialist Symbol of Hope and the in-form Sarah's Verse are also players in a decent heat.
