Gift Of Kings (11/4), Aiya (4/1), Chosen World (5/1), My Brother Mike (17/2), Lord Torranaga (10/1), Contrast (16/1), Insurplus (16/1), Ideal Candy (18/1), Corked (20/1), Bollihope (20/1), Al Ozzdi (25/1), Billy Roberts (33/1), Thomas Cranmer (40/1), I Can't Remember (50/1)

The well-bred GIFT OF KINGS shaped better than the bare result in a stronger affair than this at Doncaster 19 days ago, so he could well be the answer. Aiya is yet to finish outside of the frame on the all-weather and is down to a handy mark, so he's feared, along with My Brother Mike, who did well to finish as close as he did at Wolverhampton considering his early exuberance.
