Imbucato (2/1), Triple First (9/2), Royal Melody (6/1), Hidden Stash (8/1), Dukeofwallingford (8/1), Cruel Clever Cat (8/1), Solveig's Song (10/1), Shifting Star (10/1), River Rule (10/1), Social Butterfly (12/1), Lisnamoyle Lady (14/1), Ipsilante (25/1), Miss Recycled (25/1), Lutine Charlie (66/1), Aldbury Lass (66/1), Dragon Tattoo (66/1)

Maiden CRUEL CLEVER CAT has shown her liking for this venue already this season having placed here in July and she can reverse subsequent running over 7f here with Imbucato to take this big field handicap affair. The selection represents a yard who have had plenty of winners at this venue (29/196 in recent years) while third place can go to Royal Melody who ran well at Chepstow on her latest start.
