10/3
One paced mare who hasn't shown enough in recent starts to suggest she is likely to be a major player in this event.

Forecasts

Agentleman (2/1), Saffron Prince (10/3), Alottarain (10/3), No No Cardinal (7/1), Humbel Ben (15/2), Guaracha (16/1), Changing The Guard (22/1)

Verdict

Veteran Changing The Guard will take the field along here, with Guaracha and No No Cardinal in behind. The latter is one for the shortlist, as is Humbel Ben, but preference is for AGENTLEMAN, encouraging third of 10 in Southwell handicap chase last day.
  1. Agentleman
  2. No No Cardinal
  3. Humbel Ben
