Highly Prized (2/1), Caius Marcius (10/3), Gunnery (4/1), Cervaro Mix (6/1), Constancio (9/1), Fiesole (14/1), Lucky Lover Boy (33/1), Wells De Lune (66/1), Kuiper Belt (80/1)

A good feature race where a case can be made for a few with the form shown by three of these in the Market Rasen Summer Hurdle sure to come into play. Caius Marcius was the best of those in that race but there was a hint there that he may be better over further in future and HIGHLY PRIZED who shaped well in fifth is taken to reverse that form and grab this having looked as though that race would bring him on. Fiesole, seventh at Market Rasen looks on a stiff mark currently and Gunnery is seen as a bigger danger especially as he may be fresh and he returns from seven months off here. Constancio and Cervaro Mix add some depth to the race and could well be the two pace setters.
