Zubayr (6/4), Eragon De Chanay (2/1), Mick Thonic (13/2), Romanor (8/1), Whatthebutlersaw (12/1), Ruacana (12/1), Here's Herbie (20/1), Thahab Ifraj (66/1)

Given the pace profile of this race it’s unlikely that the easy Sandown scorer Eragon De Chanay will be allowed to dominate here in the same way as he did last time out with Mick Thonic and Thahab Ifraj for company despite being 8lb well-in. There’s no doubting that Zubayr is well handicapped and having been given a wind operation and coming from the yard that have won this in the last two years he must be respected. ROMANOR looked progressive in the summer on quick ground and he gets a belated chance (in the year) to gain another win with the ground in his favour and his stable going well.
