Lancelot Du Lac (11/4), Mickey (7/2), Naadirr (5/1), Swift Approval (6/1), Udontdodou (7/1), Erissimus Maximus (10/1), Nautical Haven (10/1), Suzi's Connoisseur (12/1), Human Nature (12/1), Hammer Gun (16/1)

A competitive contest, but not a race in which a strong opinion can be formed with Stuart Williams saddling 33% of the field (3 from 9), and a number of the runners having shown their best form over either shorter (5f) or longer (7f) trips. Mickey is less experienced than most after just ten career starts, yet the handicapper still seems to have a decent handle on him, whilst Stewards Cup winner Lancelot Du Lac heads the weights with good reason. However, we'll have a go with the Kevin Ryan trained NAADIRR. He's not won for a while, but is a two-time Listed winner, appears to handle the AW, and we know that 6f is his optimum trip.
