Market Road (7/2), Arquebusier (4/1), Auenwirbel (9/2), Caprice D'anglais (5/1), Bredon Hill Lad (8/1), One Style (10/1), Whispering Harry (10/1), Fear Glic (12/1), Modeligo (14/1)

Auenwirbel has enough form on the board from higher marks to think that he can go close here, though he has had one or two reasonably good chances on paper of late and not been able to take advantage, which is a concern. Caprice D'anglais started well for Charlie Longsdon last time and he could begin to improve, so is an interesting runner. Market Road is in decent form and is entitled to respect returning to fences, though BREDON HILL LAD appears to be in the form of his life and the return to this trip might help his cause in attempting to defy another 6lb rise and complete a hat-trick.
