Afadil (3/1), Florida Dreams (4/1), Balhambar (9/2), Old Gregorian (17/2), Freddy Robinson (9/1), Norman Fletcher (11/1), Welsh Charger (14/1), Maghlaak (16/1), Ravenscraig Castle (18/1), Rewired (22/1), All The Glory (28/1), Mack The Man (33/1)

Successful in this race from a 4 lb higher mark 12 months ago, AFADIL has yet to fully fire this term, yet had excuses on account of his track position at Southwell 31 days ago, so in an open-looking affair he's narrowly selected to bounce back. Balhambar is proving most consistent and is a danger in refitted cheekpieces. Florida Dreams and Maghlaak are others to consider.
