Affluence (9/2), Sheldon Cooper (5/1), Clearance (11/2), Chakrii (6/1), Pablow (15/2), So I'm Told (8/1), Lady Wolf (12/1), The Celtic Machine (12/1), Boatrace (14/1), Passing Clouds (25/1), Rebel Woods (40/1), Amy Kane (50/1), Takiah (66/1)

Clearance and Chakrii are the two in-form contenders here, but the former needs to show he's as effective over this shorter trip and so preference is for the latter, who was a winner at Chelmsford last week and should improve again. But there are some unknown quantities in here, and the likes of So I'm Told, Boatrace and THE CELTIC MACHINE may all do better here. The Celtic Machine will want a trip such as this, and might well leave his form behind now he does. His yard have been among the winners this year and is a sporting selection here.
