Arrowtown (7/2), Baydar (4/1), Alfredo (6/1), Faithful Mount (15/2), Master Archer (8/1), Dominating (10/1), Stone The Crows (10/1), Northwest Frontier (11/1), Le Maitre Chat (12/1), Stormin Tom (20/1), Velvet Revolution (20/1), Akamanto (20/1), Suegioo (33/1), Blue Hussar (33/1), Luv U Whatever (33/1), Sandro Botticelli (40/1), Clowance One (50/1)

ARROWTOWN has been in great form of late and she can complete her hat-trick by taking this highly competitive staying handicap. Mick Easterby's charge impressed in winning last time and can get the better of top weight Master Archer who won over this trip at Chester on his most recent appearance. Alfredo made a highly promising return from a lengthy absence on his most recent start and he looks capable of finishing third.
