I Could Do Better (5/6), Current Option (5/4), Brandy Spirit (11/4), So Macho (6/1), Ride The Monkey (12/1), Bold Show (16/1), Indiaro (66/1), Ghathanfar (80/1), Rodney After Dave (100/1), The Retriever (150/1)

I COULD DO BETTER's debut win at Redcar is the best piece of form on offer and, despite carrying a penalty, he looks to be likeliest winner of this. Brandy Spirit has been consistent so far and heads the dangers while So Macho may offer more on return upped in journey.
