Bandon Roc (8/13), Flobury (5/1), Benability (7/1), Admiral Blake (8/1), Some Finish (12/1), Goodnight Charlie (25/1), Bennys Girl (25/1), Diamond Reflection (25/1)
BANDON ROC is the most obvious choice but will be skinny odds to complete his hattrick under his 7lb penalty on what could be very testing ground. He should score though if recovered from his exertions last week. If there is going to be a surprise it may come from Admiral Blake who shaped with a little promise on his belated seasonal return and Sam Twiston-Davies saw enough then (it would seem) to take the mount once again. Back in a visor having seemingly resented the first-time blinkers on his most recent start, Some Finish is not without hope if on a going day, while Bennys Girl could do best of the rest.
1. Bandon Roc
2. Admiral Blake
3. Some Finish
