Go West Young Man (9/2), Road To Rome (9/2), Kapcorse (6/1), Middlebrow (15/2), Glenforde (15/2), Fenlon's Hill (8/1), Mankala (10/1), Farm The Rock (12/1), Broom Tip (12/1), Monsieur Arkadin (25/1), Zalgarry (25/1)

Both Fenlon's Hill and Middlebrow have progressed quickly over fences and bring the strongest recent form into this contest. The former should appreciate the step back up in trip as he seeks to record a third success in four starts, whilst the latter promises to be suited by this flat track. However, there are others who could improve upon their previous form having undergone recent wind surgery, including the chasing debutante Mankala, and the Kim Bailey trained Glenforde. That said, it is the Oliver Sherwood trained ROAD TO ROME who rates as a speculative selection having shown decent enough form at this track in the past for Will Kinsey.
