A Momentofmadness (11/4), Powerallied (9/2), Doctor Sardonicus (5/1), El Astronaute (6/1), Reflektor (13/2), Tavener (8/1), Sir Maximilian (9/1), Gracious John (12/1), Bossipop (14/1), Mayleaf Shine (16/1), Boundsy (25/1), Hyperfocus (33/1), Confessional (50/1)

POWERALLIED is a three-time course winner who makes plenty of appeal from a nice draw (4) in the opener on the card and his trainer Richard Fahey won this for the same owners in 2015. A Momentofmadness is another who has drawn well with the inside berth and Charlie Hills' charge was seen breaking the track record at Kempton two starts back; the gelding can be forgiven his latest effort. Boundsy has his work cut out from his stall (13) but can't be dismissed given his course record.
