Sparkleandshine (11/4), William H Bonney (7/2), Shiroccan Roll (11/2), Eskendash (7/1), Blushing Red (7/1), Mister Universum (16/1), Raven's Tower (16/1), Great Hall (20/1), Romanor (20/1), Furiously Fast (20/1), Collodi (50/1), Prince Of Steal (80/1)

Competitive stuff and there are plenty that will fancy their chances in this with both William H Bonney and Blushing Red having won last time out but both of those have more on their plates this time around. Seamus Mullins has a good record in this race (won it in 2013/2014; no runners since) and he saddles Romanor who may get the decent pace he needs to run at. Eskendash is a smooth traveller but he’s flattered to deceive on more than one occasion of late while both Great Hall and Furiously Fast are worth watching in the market. SPARKLEANDSHINE gets the overall vote having scored over C&D he returns to calmer waters here off a mark that doesn’t look beyond him.
