Eldritch (5/4), Chocolate Box (11/2), Romanor (8/1), Sennockian Star (8/1), Sparte Quercus (11/1), Great Court (14/1), Paris Protocol (14/1), Manchego (14/1), Thistimenextyear (14/1), Jufn (33/1), Rite To Reign (40/1), Spes Nostra (80/1)

A wide-open contest in which even the regressive, 103-race veteran Sennockian Star merits a second look after hinting at a revival at Catterick last time. All things considered, ELDRITCH looks the most progressive horse in the line-up and, though a 4lb rise for finishing second at Newcastle last time looks harsh, this contest would appear within his range if first-time cheekpieces have the desired effect. Great Court and Romanor look the pick of the remainder.
