Dancingontheedge (7/2), Saxon Queen (11/2), Fine By Me (6/1), Rubys Reward (13/2), Borderline (9/1), Danzini (9/1), League Clash (11/1), Via Dante (12/1), Esperti (14/1), Frankie Faulkner (18/1), Wearapinkribbon (28/1), Lady Harriett (33/1), Greystoke (40/1), Mountain Bay (40/1)

Verdict

Not as competitive as the numbers suggest and FINE BY ME is fancied to defy a 6 lb weights rise and follow up his cosy breakthrough victory at Stratford last time out. Course scorer Dancingontheedge is next on the list ahead of Fontwell scorer Danzini and handily-weighted Greystoke.
