Navajo Star (15/8), Colwood (4/1), Mood For Mischief (5/1), Masters Apprentice (5/1), Whinging Willie (9/1), Oxford Blu (10/1), Gravity Wave (10/1), Mundersfield (14/1), Spring Dixie (66/1)

This race lacks an outstanding candidate although there are one or two that could spark some interest. COLWOOD showed that he could handle this surface when winning in France and although his two performances in GB have been on Fibresand the form of his win there (up 6lb here) is good enough to win this. Neither Mundersfield or Mood For Mischief have as yet be tried over a trip as far as this but the both look as though they could improve for it and a market move for either should be noted. Navejo Star is a solid performer especially over this C&D but she may just struggle off this mark giving away weight to the entire field.
