Socialist Agenda (5/2), Geelong (7/2), Big Jimbo (9/2), Team Endeavour (11/2), Estrela Star (17/2), Steel Helmet (10/1), Ask Peter (10/1), Foursome (11/1), Trusty Scout (14/1), Buford (18/1), Tradesman (28/1), Desert Glory (100/1), Ulysses (150/1)

SOCIALIST AGENDA wasn't seen to best effect when well backed and fifth making his handicap debut in this sphere at Wolverhampton 3 weeks ago, not ideally placed off a modest tempo, and he's worth chancing to take a step forward given his exploits in bumpers/over hurdles. Geelong is proving consistent and is feared, with Bath scorer Big Jimbo and Steel Helmet completing the shortlist.
