Object (11/4), Willolarupi (9/2), Profiteer (11/2), Music Society (7/1), Alafdhal (8/1), Thornaby Pearl (10/1), Ghathanfar (12/1), Woobay (18/1), Miss Rainbow (18/1), Without Flaw (20/1), Travel Candy (20/1), Yazaman (25/1), Mrs Trump (25/1), Biographer (40/1)

It could be worth chancing TRAVEL CANDY, who lurks on a very tempting mark after a quiet year and shaped with more promise at Redcar last time. Alafdhal, successful here in April and runner-up on his last 3 starts, including back over C&D, is an obvious contender. Willolarupi and Music Society complete the shortlist.
