Bielsa (5/1), Pendleton (6/1), Gabrial The Saint (7/1), Lahore (7/1), Alaadel (15/2), Cold Stare (8/1), Triggered (8/1), Golden Apollo (8/1), Call Me Ginger (11/1), Dalton (14/1), Fantasy Keeper (14/1), Diamond Dougal (16/1), Gunmetal (20/1), Bernardo O'Reilly (25/1)

A competitive sprint with plenty of winning form brought to the table, preference is for GOLDEN APOLLO, who revelled off a lower handicap mark to win the Ayr Silver Cup last time out and any replication of that form should see him right in the mix. Bielsa possessed a fine profile before bombing out in the Portland Handicap but this looks a mildly easier race this time out. He can be considered for the places alongside the likes of Pendleton and Gabrial The Saint, who are both starting to be rewarded for their consistency now.
