William Money (8/13), How About It (6/1), Amber Gambler (7/1), Ultimatum Du Roy (12/1), Better Days (14/1), He's A Bully (25/1), Amiral Collonges (28/1), Raduis Bleu (100/1)

There's a good chance that William Money could try and take this from the front again, and though he's proven over this trip he was racing over shorter when romping to victory at Newcastle last time. Though favourite that day, the manner of victory was perhaps too good to be true, and he may not find it so easy under a penalty. If that's the case, perhaps AMBLER GAMBLER can take advantage. He seeks a fifth win in a row today but has always looked at his best over this trip and seems to still be improving, even if he is shooting up the weights. Ultimatum Du Roy has only gone up slightly in the handicap despite being in great form recently and is another one to consider. 1. Amber Gambler 2. William Money 3. Ultimatum Du Roy
