Monsieur Lecoq (11/4), Thistimenextyear (3/1), Court Royale (4/1), Our Merlin (9/2), Eragon De Chanay (6/1), Demopolis (12/1), Saintemilion (20/1)

Demopolis looks to have plenty on his plate off top weight, so this could be fought out by three runners at the other end of the handicap in Court Royale, Thistimenextyear and MONSIEUR LECOQ. The selection is unxposed over timber and may be leniently treated on his handicap bow. Our Merlin enters calculations despite his steep rise in the weights,
