Fox Trotter (10/3), Hedging (7/2), Berkshire Boy (4/1), Operative (6/1), Here's Two (6/1), Sir Billy Wright (10/1), Archie (14/1), Outer Space (18/1), Wahaab (20/1), Nightingale Valley (20/1), Alqalsar (50/1)

A chance is taken that the visor will have a positive effect on BERKSHIRE BOY who is on the same mark as when beating similar company here last year on soft ground. Operative is up to a trip which looks likely to suit, but Fox Trotter may need a stiffer test. Hedging should step up on his last run with the cheekpieces refitted, whilst Sir Billy Wright goes well fresh and can go close despite topweight.
