Albegrey (2/1), Clear Angel (7/2), What's The Story (4/1), Intercessor (5/1), Strongbowe (13/2), Alpine Sierra (7/1), Global Spirit (10/1), Jackhammer (12/1), Cosa Sara (20/1), Soames Forsyte (22/1), Dogged (25/1), Devasboy (28/1), Gainsbourg (33/1), Showmedemoney (33/1)

Plenty are in with a shout but one of the most appealing is ALBEGREY, who ran out a five-length winner over C&D on his recent return and gets in under a 5 lb penalty here. Fellow C&D scorer What's The Story is a big threat on the back of a good York third in a much stronger race, although dual winner of this event Jackhammer and ready Wetherby scorer Clear Angel need factoring in too.
