Karakoram (5/2), Wilde Spirit (7/2), Avantgardist (9/2), Bobble Emerald (5/1), Thaqaffa (11/2), Gregarious (7/1), Nefyn Bay (8/1), Kabrit (14/1), Marju's Quest (25/1), May Mist (33/1)

Nefyn Bay and KARAKORAM were second and third respectively here last time. Both ran well that day but Karaoram has that little bit more scope being a much younger horse and may improve for that experience. The top three in the weights are all respected. Thaqaffa is fit after a quirky second last time, but both Gregarious and Avantgardist look more straight-forward and could go well if fully wound up with both having their first start back this campaign.
