Ypsilanti (11/8), Early Retirement (9/2), Present Times (6/1), Distant Sound (8/1), Thatchers Gold (14/1), Lord Ballim (16/1), Cougar Kid (16/1), Cheltenam De Vaige (20/1), Albatros De Guye (20/1), Be Seeing You (20/1), Sizing Sahara (25/1), Scartare (25/1), Charlie Parker (33/1), Alla Svelta (40/1)

Many will stop at Ypsilanti as the likeliest winner here, as he won with his head in his chest at Doncaster last week but he faces completely different conditions here and he may be worth taking on with EARLY RETIREMENT, who travelled like a dream at Warwick on his handicap debut but gave the winner too much rope. With more improvement likely, he can cause a minor upset here. The rest are much of a muchness, but Scartare might outrun likely big odds and hit the frame. 1. Early Retirement 2. Ypsilanti 3. Scartare
