First Impression (9/4), Gorak (4/1), Shine On Brendan (6/1), Cosmos Raj (9/1), Tilsitt (10/1), Aussie Warrior (11/1), Arch Moon (12/1), Glasses Up (12/1), Capital Theory (25/1), Jewel Maker (25/1), Positive Force (33/1), Royal Regent (50/1)

FIRST IMPRESSION shaped quite well over C&D at the recent Western Meeting and is taken to build on that promise and gain a first Flat success since scoring over C&D in autumn 2020. Gorak proved himself at this trip in a competitive Racing League handicap at Windsor last time and is second choice. Shine On Brendan and Aussie Warrior complete the shortlist.
