Fastnet Tempest (5/6), Mount Tahan (9/2), Ice Slice (6/1), Sound Advice (8/1), Viscount Barfield (11/1), Fuwairt (12/1), My Target (12/1), Hillbilly Boy (14/1), Above The Rest (16/1), Gabrial's Kaka (20/1), Lat Hawill (28/1), Penwortham (50/1)

While Fastnet Tempest will be a tough nut to crack, he's likely to face plenty of competition for the lead here and it may pay to side with MY TARGET who should sit just off the pace. He's been a revelation over the winter and he may prove to be a bit of value off a lenient looking handicap mark. Mount Tahan is consistent and should run well once again.
