Asmund (13/8), My Genghis (9/4), Broxi (6/1), Mehigburn (15/2), Tomorrow Day (8/1), Company Minx (12/1), War Zone (14/1), Hawajes (18/1), Dashing Willie (20/1), Admirable Lad (22/1), Malinheadsearovers (22/1), Another Jack (50/1)

In a contest where it's tough to make a compelling case for any the suggestion is ASMUND in the hope he can recapture the sort of form he was showing in the spring. Mehigburn, the mount of Billy Loughnane, has been placed in similar races at Yarmouth in recent weeks and is second choice ahead of Tony Carroll's Hawajes, one of few in the field with a recent win to his name.
