Birchdale (5/2), Enjoy D'allen (4/1), Mica Malpic (9/2), Champagne Platinum (9/2), Singing Banjo (5/1), Three By Two (17/2), Vital Island (16/1), Blast Of Koeman (40/1)

Verdict

A number may have their sights set on targets later in the season but last year's runner-up SINGING BANJO has a particularly solid record at this venue and, with a recent spin between the Flags under his belt, the veteran could well be ready to strike. Enjoy d'Allen is an intriguing runner in this discipline and market support behind him would look significant. Birchdale and Mica Malpic are others worth monitoring.
