Giga White (9/2), Aljady (5/1), Raydiance (11/2), Pattie (11/2), Wahoo (11/2), Young Fire (11/2), Wise Counsel (7/1), Redarna (11/1), Get Knotted (11/1), Ventura Ocean (14/1), Howzer Black (18/1), Drogon (25/1), Nordic Fire (33/1)

A tricky contest but it might be worth taking a chance on WAHOO who arrives in form having stayed on gamely for his Redcar success last time out and he should remain competitive from a 2lb higher handicap mark. Aljady is another of interest in first-time headgear and back on his last winning handicap. Wise Counsel represents a yard in form and can't be ruled out despite his inconvenient draw (12).
