Hooves Like Jagger (5/2), Sugar Candie (4/1), Smart Boyo (11/2), Selfish Brian (15/2), Frame Rate (11/1), Kopa Kilana (11/1), Blue Hero (12/1), Three Dragons (16/1), The Resdev Way (22/1), Billy Bathgate (33/1), Half Nelson (33/1), Ha'an (33/1), Buford (40/1)

SUGAR CANDIE looked a work-in-progress in her qualifying runs and upped in trip for handicap debut, it would come as no surprise were she to produce a much-improved display. Selfish Brian also tries a new distance and his pedigree suggests he should stay, with Three Dragons one to monitor in the betting for his new yard following a lengthy absence.
