Double Dealing (3/1), Invincibly (4/1), Host (4/1), Praise Of Shadows (11/2), Street Kid (11/2), Nortonthorpe Boy (11/1), Blue Hero (16/1), Desert History (16/1), Woke Media (22/1)

STREET KID's Cork win last year was something of a stand-out effort, but he starts out for a yard in excellent order, and with 7f expected to be within range, he could be the answer. Host was too free over 9.5f and remains one to be interested in, as does Double Dealing.
