Collingham (7/2), Scots Poet (5/1), Voix Du Reve (5/1), Matchless (11/2), Cuban Cigar (6/1), Colonial Empire (15/2), Theatre Legend (12/1), The Churchill Lad (14/1), Diamond State (25/1)

A tricky event, in which the veteran VOIX DU REVE is fancy to resume winning ways having quickly slipped back near the mark from which he won at Ayr late last season. Theatre Legend missed the bulk of last season but went with plenty of enthusiasm when narrowly denied at Sedgefield last time and should be in the mix again provided there's no "bounce," whilst Collingham has a fine record fresh and held his form well last term, so also merits consideration.
