Carpe Diem Lady (2/1), Frank Bridge (4/1), Satchville Flyer (9/2), Sumou (5/1), Bella's Venture (7/1), Bergholt (15/2), Bounty Pursuit (8/1), Harry Holland (12/1), Corporal Maddox (16/1), Topology (16/1), Doctor Bong (20/1)

Not too strong in terms of depth, but fairly open nevertheless. Satchville Flyer has endured a hectic schedule lately and that is more of a worry than this step up in trip, but he should remain competitive. FRANK BRIDGE is becoming high in the weights, but with his trainer in good form looks more solid than most and is selected in the hope (rather than the expectation) that he can follow up his Leicester success. Of the remainder, both Bergholt and Doctor Bong are out of form, but increasingly well treated as a result, whilst market support should be noted for Harry Holland on his first outing for shrewd Northern trainer Oliver Greenall.
