16/1

20/1, creditable second of 12 in handicap at Chester (7f, good to soft) 10 days ago. Remains to be seen whether a drop to 6f is what he needs.

18/1

Two wins over 6f on AW at Newcastle earlier in the year but couldn't translate that good form back to turf here in May. Given a bit of time since and remains potentially well treated off his much lower mask in this sphere.

Eternal Sunshine (9/4), Novello Lad (10/3), Ramon Di Loria (7/2), Wild Mountain (13/2), Rosenpur (16/1), Jkr Cobbler (16/1), Nazca (18/1), Earn Your Stripes (22/1), Newyorkstateofmind (25/1), Piper's Fort (33/1)

ETERNAL SUNSHINE was nicely on top at the finish over C&D a fortnight ago and might be able to defy the handicapper and complete a hat-trick. Novello Lad and last week's C&D runner-up Ramon Di Loria may give her most to think about.
