Champion Harbour (5/2), State Residence (5/2), Willbeme (11/2), Riponian (6/1), Jebel Tara (8/1), Little Kingdom (9/1), Palindrome (10/1), Twistsandturns (10/1), Coral Princess (12/1), Mercers Row (14/1), Jacob Black (20/1), Breathoffreshair (20/1)

Last year’s winner Riponian looks to have a decent chance of repeating his win although he’s not the most consistent and comes here off the back of a moderate run but with an easy lead he would be dangerous. There are quite a few of these who have shown better form in the past and any of Willbeme, Jacob Black and Jebel Tara could bounce back although you would have to ignore some poor form to support them. Champion Harbour has one of the more solid profile but STATE RESISDENCE gets the nod overall as he has the look of one who could improve out of this grade. If there is one that is interesting at a bigger price then it’s Palindrome for the Marjorie Fife team who are very good with this sort and he should be watched in the market.
