Arigato (2/1), Vocatus (2/1), Sir Titan (5/1), Merchant Of Venice (5/1), Burford Brown (5/1), Blonde Warrior (13/2), Robero (7/1), Boy In The Bar (12/1), Charles Molson (20/1)

The ground is an unknown here, but rain is forecast, and that will play into the hands of VOCATUS, who has joined Mick Appleby and been gelded since winning at Galway in October. Arigato would get the nod if the track missed the thunderstorms as he is best on a sound surface, and ran well behind a talented sort at Yarmouth. Merchant of Venice is fit after a spin at Newcastle, and will go close if reacting favourably to a first-time visor.
