Potenza (7/2), Love Explodes (9/2), Baryshnikov (5/1), Harlow (5/1), Zlatan (11/2), Sands Chorus (6/1), Al Daiha (9/1), Queen Mia (10/1), Red Derek (14/1), Star Archer (28/1), Vivax (125/1)

This looks competitive for its grade, and cases can be made for plenty of them. The suggestion is to take a chance on STAR ARCHER, who has course winning form, sees out this trip and has dropped to a very handy mark. Headgear may also help. Zlatan should be thereabouts despite topweight, and Potenza is another likely contender. Love Explodes can be added to the short-list.
