Nodsasgoodasawink (3/1), Tawaafoq (9/2), Cobra Eye (5/1), Spreadsheet (11/2), Purbeck Hills (13/2), London Calling (10/1), Arceus (11/1), Breath Of Spring (12/1), Navajo Dawn (25/1), Red Sparrow (66/1), Ohnotanotherone (66/1), Sparkling Diamond (125/1)

Slim pickings in this low-grade sprint but TAWAAFOQ is versatile with the ground and he's a course winner. The yard are very capable at getting a tune out of these older handicappers and he can follow up his Chepstow win. Nodsasgoodasawink has run well here in the past and she makes some appeal as a 3-y-o against mainly older rivals. Cobra Eye can't be ruled out either.
