Ripp Orf (7/2), Spanish City (7/1), Tabarrak (8/1), Salute The Soldier (10/1), Escobar (10/1), Arbalet (10/1), Vale Of Kent (10/1), Blackheath (12/1), Sanaadh (12/1), Fanaar (12/1), Ventura Ocean (14/1), Another Batt (16/1), Kimifive (16/1), Pogo (20/1), Rum Runner (20/1), Breanski (20/1), Shady Mccoy (33/1)
A typically competitive field for this type of contest but with such good form at this course and creditable recent efforts, it's hard not to enthuse about the chances of RIPP ORF winning the race for the second year. Tabarrak may well have won at Goodwood with a clear run and has performed well under big weights here before whilst Salute The Soldier is closely matched with Tabarrak from last time out.
