Tha'ir (3/1), Imperial Act (4/1), Snooker Jim (4/1), Break The Silence (5/1), Perfect Soldier (9/1), Soldier Blue (14/1), Misu Pete (16/1), Aljunood (16/1), Glenmoore (16/1), Windsorlot (18/1), Pact Of Steel (22/1), The Third Man (40/1), Bullseye Bullet (66/1)

A relatively strong event for the grade with one or two that will see this as a way to either break their maiden or return to form. Snooker Jim would certainly fit neatly into the former category having not been beaten far at Nottingham; he’s allowed to compete off the same mark. Perfect Soldier nestles on an attractive mark and he’s one to watch in the market with this race giving him a good chance to regain the winning thread. Imperial Act failed to impress last time and more is needed from her to regain the winning thread while The Third Man is an interesting sort. Course specialist THA'IR will be suited by a return to this trip and this former useful sort can add another course victory.
