Highfield Viking (9/2), We'renotreallyhere (5/1), Trabajo Detecho (6/1), Cinque Verde (7/1), Mereside Diva (15/2), Storm Fox (9/1), Captain Wentworth (9/1), More Than A Grey (11/1), Bishop's Glory (12/1), One Of Our Own (12/1), Marie's Jewel (25/1), The Camacho Kid (28/1), Desert Illusion (28/1)

WE'RENOTREALLYHERE showed improved form and a good attitude to score at Catterick and he's fancied to follow up at the chief expense of Trabajo Detecho, who arrives in search of his third win in 2023. Mereside Diva makes most appeal of those making their handicap debuts and can complete the placings.
