Doitforthevillage (3/1), Foxtail Hill (4/1), Oldgrangewood (9/2), Diable De Sivola (7/1), Cobra De Mai (15/2), Master Dee (15/2), Aintree My Dream (8/1), Poker School (10/1), Drumlee Sunset (12/1), Caltex (12/1)

A cracking contest and you can make a pretty solid case for plenty of them. Foxtail Hill will be dangerous if allowed to dictate off a dangerous looking handicap mark. Master Dee and Oldgrangewood are both more than capable of running big races. DOITFORTHEVILLAGE has been in terrific form and can gain another success here. He was unfortunate to bump into the handicap blot in Cyrname at Ascot last time and should be bang there once more.
