Coolanly (11/8), Before Midnight (4/1), Commodore Barry (11/2), Rocco (7/1), Pistol Whipped (15/2), Mystical Clouds (16/1), Ivilnoble (40/1)

The form of COOLANKY's Exeter second behind Esprit Du Large was boosted in fine fashion at Sandown over the weekend and Fergal O'Brien's charge should have leading claims in this if seeing out the extra yardage. Likely frontrunner Commodore Barry won't go down without a fight while Mystical Clouds may be worth an interest after a layoff.
