Scorching Heat (5/4), Glengarry (4/1), Lincoln (11/2), Handsome Dude (13/2), Flying Pursuit (7/1), Ninjago (8/1), Dragon King (10/1), Tommy G (11/1), Harwoods Volante (12/1), Explain (16/1), Giant Spark (20/1)

Plenty of competition here with Lincoln set to go well from top weight and both Paul Midgley's pair, Giant Spark and Ninjago, having points of merit. Glengarry should be doing his best work at the finish, while Handsome Dude and Dragon King should be thereabouts and the traveller Scorching Heat is entitled to plenty of respect. Even so, FLYING PURSUIT is back on a winning mark and can make the most of it.
