Youceeyouceecee (3/1), So You Thought (9/2), Tribal Path (6/1), Allegio (7/1), Stenographer (15/2), Fit For Function (8/1), Gold Spinner (9/1), Gentil J (9/1), Not A Bad Oul Day (10/1), Dinkum Diamond (20/1)

Not A Bad Oul Day and Tribal Path will make this a true run affair with plenty of pace on from the start. The two and Sternographer have all met recently with the latter coming out on top. The trio could easily make the frame again but preference is for the Dermot Weld trained-SO YOU THOUGHT who can improve on his Irish Cambridgeshire fourth last time out.
