Singlefarmpayment (7/2), Cogry (4/1), Doing Fine (11/2), Commodore (7/1), Another Venture (8/1), Equus Secretus (9/1), Kingswell Theatre (10/1), Anteros (12/1), Militarian (16/1), Like The Sound (33/1)
SINGLEFARMPAYMENT may not be the most straightforward sort but one of these big handicaps ought to fall his way again soon and the fitting of first-time headgear may help eke out at stronger effort at the business end of the race. Last time out winner Cogry is an obvious danger with just a 4lb rise to cope with while the unfortunate Doing Fine may be able to gain compensation following his void race at Sandown last time out.
