Blow Your Horn (4/5), Top Fox (7/2), Arabic Culture (17/2), Sexy Beast (9/1), Socially Shady (10/1), Victoriano (33/1), Financial Conduct (40/1)

TOP FOX didn't need to improve when breaking his maiden at Kempton in February but may progress here to follow up on his handicap debut. Blow Your Horn is consistent and has to be taken seriously given he is unexposed at this trip.
