The Compeller (5/1), Bahrikate (5/1), Pc Dixon (6/1), Mick The Poser (6/1), Main Fact (7/1), Peters Grey (7/1), Christmas In Usa (8/1), Hey Listen (11/1), Moores Novelty (14/1), Golden Town (16/1), Titus Bolt (16/1), The Banastoir (25/1), Read'em And Weep (25/1), Stags Leap (33/1)

Competitive numerically, but plenty of these horses are on a steady downward march in the handicap. Some such as Titus Bolt could be considered as a result, but others such as Stags Leap and Read'em And Weep make little appeal. Pc Dixon has been kept busy by Victor Thompson, but headed the other way up the weights, he'll find winning harder, as will both Main Fact and 2017 scorer Bahrikate. In a race which makes little appeal for punting, we'll row in with the arguably disappointing (so far) MICK THE POSER, who makes just his second start in a handicap for Jennie Candlish.
