Flatley (9/4), Ravenglass (4/1), Surprise Picture (5/1), Touchwood (5/1), Chifa (9/1), Culcor (12/1), From Beyond (16/1), Decipher (22/1), Vortigan (28/1), Mudlahhim (28/1), Beauzon (33/1), Diamond Cottage (100/1)

CHIFA is 4 from 5 in AW handicaps since October so it would come as no surprise whatsoever were he to leave his recent turf form behind back on this surface. Touchwood is a very solid rival, while it will be interesting to see what the market makes of Beauzon starting out for a respected stable.
