Ad Libitum (6/4), Mutadaffeq (3/1), Eskendash (9/2), Multellie (9/2), Armandihan (11/2), Snax (8/1), Be Perfect (11/1), Mr Sundowner (33/1)

Another tough race to assess with some uncertainty regarding conditions. Mutadaffeq carries a 6lb penalty for Monday's win, but is essentially better than this grade of race now, so the welter burden of 10st 8lbs isn't overly concerning, whilst there's little to choose between Cumberland Plate foes Armandihan and Ad Libitum. However, a chance is taken that front-runner MULTELLIE can poach a soft lead for the in-form Tim Easterby, and this ground versatile infrequent winner can finally capitalise on a reduced mark over a C&D that he's won over previously in August 2015.
