Razdan (7/2), Jake Peter (4/1), Harriet's Force (9/2), Power Drive (15/2), Newgirlintown (15/2), Cursory Exam (9/1), Chateau Musar (12/1), Made For Minds (22/1), White Desert (22/1), Kalaroun (25/1), Dammit (25/1), The Virginian (28/1), Itsalonglongroad (33/1), Dinamine (33/1), Magnetic North (50/1), Estepona Sun (50/1), Supreme Machine (66/1)

Plenty are in with a shout. Course-scorer HARRIET'S FORCE signalled she's ready to go in again when a good third over C&D four weeks ago and can race off the same mark here so she gets the verdict. Three-time C&D winner Power Drive is next on the list, with Chateau Musar another course specialist who needs considering for place purposes.
