Plenty are in with a shout. PLAYFUL SAINT scored with lots in hand at Leicester last time and remains with few miles on the clock so Dan Skelton's 8-y-o gets the nod with conditions likely to be very much in his favour too. Salsada is weighted to have a big say back in handicap company having chased home Epatante in a Doncaster Grade 2 and is next on the list, with Monviel, Zoffany Bay and Punctuation completing the shortlist.
