Songkran (15/8), Ocean Reach (9/2), Rotherwick (9/2), Water's Edge (9/1), Scofflaw (12/1), Helian (12/1), Stormingin (14/1), Couldn't Could She (18/1), Bayston Hill (25/1), James Park Woods (28/1), Abel Tasman (33/1), John Betjeman (33/1), French Riviera (40/1), Princess Way (50/1), Simbirsk (50/1), Maroc (80/1)

SONGKRAN is 2lb well-in here and looks the obvious choice to force the issue in this modest handicap. He's thrived since joining his new yard and the hat-trick is well within range despite the imposition of a mandatory penalty. Rotherwick is back over a more suitable trip and can give the suggestion a good run for the money, while Helian should strip fitter this time and is forwarded as the best of the rest. Water's Edge has won from a higher mark on the AW and also merits a betting check.
