Desert Icon (9/4), Howman (3/1), Eynhallow (7/2), Waldstern (11/2), Ventura Knight (15/2), Highbrow (12/1), Victory Chime (14/1), Ashington (20/1), First Sitting (20/1)
A trappy handicap but the drop back in trip could be just the ticket for EYNHALLOW, especially if they go a decent gallop. Desert Icon didn't get the run of the race when favourite at Glorious Goodwood last time and could be dangerous if things go his way this time, and bottom weight Howman is unexposed and could be open to further improvement. Victory Chime won well in the visor at Sandown and the headgear may inspire him again, while both Ventura Knight and Highbrow come into the equation on the pick of thier form.
