Gateway To Europe (9/4), Moabit (7/2), Doubly Clever (11/2), Percy Street (13/2), Ballon Onabudget (9/1), Kentford Heiress (11/1), The Sweeney (16/1), Tamarillo Grove (18/1), Capital Force (33/1)

Getting weight all round a chance is taken that PERCY STREET can return to winning ways having had a nice pipe-opener on the level at Ascot recently. Moabit will be a popular choice but there has to be a concern about him lasting home at this trip, a comment that applies equally to the lovable veteran course specialist Tamarillo Grove and to Capital Force. Kentford Heiress has sound claims and is feared, while both Doubly Clever and Gateway To Europe also have a chance on recent evidence.
