Wizarding (2/1), Ibiza Rocks (5/1), My Opinion (15/2), Weydaad (15/2), Wadi Bani (11/1), La Rav (11/1), Green Power (14/1), Sam's Hope (14/1), Recuerdame (16/1), Bhubezi (16/1), Sweet Bertie (20/1), Weloof (22/1), Mujid (33/1), Sparkling Spirit (40/1)

IBIZA ROCKS is on a career-low mark and took a step back in the right direction when third at Newcastle recently, so he's worth taking a chance on in an open race. Last-time-out winner My Opinion could progress again, so he's feared most, while course winner Wizarding is hard to rule out.
