Mercer's Troop (11/4), Panic And Run (6/1), Oscar Nomination (7/1), Lord Marmaduke (8/1), Aclassagold (9/1), Montys Angel (10/1), Just Call Me Al (12/1), Fortia (14/1), Potters Sapphire (14/1), Gold Runner (16/1), Passing Oceans (16/1), Pardon Me (18/1), Iusetaluvheronce (25/1), See Forever (33/1)

Quantity rather than quality and a race further complicated by a possible lack of pace, with not one of these having made the running in any of their last three starts. So some caution is advised. If they do go a slow gallop, that's only going to suit MERCER'S TROOP who had the speed to win over 2m last time, and surely has better to come. Passing Oceans has caught the eye a couple of times and stepping into handicaps today, is worth a second look. Gold Runner would hold claims if you can forgive his Hexham effort last time and is another to watch in the market. Lord Marmaduke is a potential improver and Irish raider Monty's Angel cannot be discounted.
