Jenson Benson (15/8), Headley George (4/1), Trepidation (7/1), Pillars Of Earth (9/1), Agent Of Fortune (11/1), Miss Sligo (11/1), Bbob Alula (11/1), Lisdarragh (12/1), Star Of Epsom (16/1), Blazer Two (25/1), Reset Button (66/1), Enchantee (80/1), Piranhadrama (100/1), Working Mans Boy (150/1), Mister Swift (250/1)

TREPIDATION has been knocking on the door in recent runs and he knows how to win which can count for a lot at this level. He gets the nod in a trappy contest. Jenson Benson won here last time and has to be taken seriously off a 4 lb higher mark. Headley George also could play a part.
