Stella Hogan (7/2), Cherry King (9/2), Bo Taifan (5/1), United Force (11/2), Morindoo (8/1), Nasim (8/1), Genta (9/1), Sam's Hope (14/1), Ballybaymoonshiner (22/1), Card Shark (28/1), Liege (33/1), Tea Leaf Ted (40/1), Beauen Arrows (50/1), Moorgate (100/1)

Not as competitive as the numbers suggest and this could go the way of BO TAIFAN who posted a good recent third at Chelmsford City and can race off the same mark here (form been franked). United Force is feared most on the back of his Southwell success with Cherry King and Morindoo also in the mix.
