Dark Magic (4/1), Spirit Of Zebedee (5/1), African Blessing (5/1), Holdenhurst (11/2), Brockey Rise (6/1), Bond Street Beau (7/1), Daring Guest (7/1), Tavener (8/1), Holy Tiber (8/1), Shackled N Drawn (12/1), Pharoh Jake (25/1), Golden Footsteps (66/1)

A wide-open handicap this but a chance is taken on the combination of blinkers and Adam Kirby unlocking a bit extra from DARK MAGIC who hasn't won since July 2017 despite running several good races during that losing spell. Holy Tiber and Holdenhurst are both recent winners who finished second last time out and they rate big dangers.
