Brave Out (4/1), Oathkeeper (5/1), Mon Lino (6/1), Clara Sorrento (7/1), Miss Me Now (9/1), Bitsandpieces (10/1), Definite Soldier (12/1), Hurricane Darwin (12/1), Ah Littleluck (12/1), Little Stevie (12/1), Miss Maiden Over (12/1), Buster Dan Dan (14/1), Woodford Island (16/1), The Mulcare Rover (20/1), Nicat's Benefit (25/1), Coolmill (25/1), Coolbane West (33/1)

A wide open handicap for which Miss Me Now will be a popular choice with punters. She is a bit hit and miss, however, and is unlikely to represent much in the way of value, so it may pay to go with MON LINO, who is lightly raced, seems to be improving and will be suited if the forecast rain arrives. Miss Maiden Over is respected on her English form, but any ease in the ground would compromise her chance and Nicat's Benefit may pose a bigger threat.
