Encore Lui (8/11), Riverdene (6/1), Bythesametoken (8/1), State Of Cognac (10/1), Spruced Up (12/1), Staged Engagement (16/1), Laureate (18/1), King's War (25/1), World Premier (25/1), British Art (25/1), Tin Town Liz (25/1), Song Of Namibia (33/1), Lean And Keen (50/1)

Not a particularly deep contest at first glance, and if he improves on a promising C&D effort on just his second handicap start, ENCORE LUI is likely to make a bold bid. Riverdene has run respectably in a couple of stronger handicaps this autumn, and should be placed if continuing in similar vein, with Tin Town Liz and Spruced Up better than they've shown recently and worth a market check, the former starting out for a new yard, and the latter making his handicap bow for shrewd connections.
