Happy Company (3/1), Our Anniversary (4/1), Song Of The Sky (5/1), Scealai Aonair (7/1), Ask Katie (10/1), Shes An Art (10/1), Glib Speech (12/1), Storm Ranger (12/1), Binary Code (14/1), Paved With Gold (16/1), Theos Well (16/1), British Art (20/1), Torthai An Ghra (25/1), Lace Bonnet (33/1)

Our Anniversary returned to action with a career-best here recently and despite an extra 7lb burden should go well, with the extra yardage potentially in her favour. The likes of Storm Ranger, Happy Company and Song Of The Sky are handicapped to have their chance, while Gordon Elliott could easily find a race for new recruit Scealai Aonair. It might be worth siding with SHES AN ART, who ran well over similar trip on testing ground at Gowran Park in September under promising apprentice Luke McAteer before the weight told. James Barrett's filly has a decent record fresh and, now rated 7lb lower, can go close in an open heat.
