Easy With Aces (9/4), Circle Time (3/1), Foshan (4/1), Carewell Cover (7/1), Beerenberg (17/2), Egypsyan Crackelli (10/1), Overstate (14/1), Twining (20/1), Asense (20/1), Festival Of Light (25/1), Just Percy (28/1), Dizzy Ed (28/1), Doves Cry (125/1)

A trappy-looking opener with CIRCLE TIME taken to resume his progress returned to polytrack. The 3-y-o disappointed on turf debut but had previously shown improved form when runner-up on his handicap bow at Kempton. He kept on well that day so he can get off the mark over this extra distance. Overstate could be the pick of the handicap debutants.
