Pop Rockstar (7/2), Mr Mcgo (5/1), Snuff Box (5/1), Barbrook Star (5/1), Never Equalled (6/1), Stockburn (13/2), Christmas In April (11/1), Lord In Red (25/1), Broadclyst (33/1)

Barbrook Star was highly impressive last time and the handicapper has been generous in only raising him 7lb. Cheekpieces had the desired effect but it remains to be seen if they will work again and this is a better race. Snuff Box is up steeply in the weights for finishing second last time, but Mr Mcgo is dropping to a weight where he could cause some damage if staying this far. POP ROCKSTAR is ideally suited to 3m on soft ground and, although his jumping has let him down lately, he showed enough on his penultimate start to suggest he can take this even allowing for an occasional error.
