South Seas (11/4), London Protocol (4/1), Enigmatic (9/2), Mukalal (6/1), Examiner (8/1), Mister Music (12/1), Sir Roderic (12/1), Seduce Me (16/1), Lamloom (20/1)
Not too many obvious candidates here but LONDON PROTOCOL has very strong claims based on his good win at Carlisle last time in testing conditions so he gets the nod. Smart two-year-old South Seas has been disappointing overall but his best form this season would put him firmly in the thick of things here and he could appreciate this big drop in class. Also on the shortlist is Mukalal who won last time out and he has few obvious weaknesses.
