Little Ted (4/1), Paddyplex (5/1), Motahassen (5/1), Firlinfeu (6/1), Greengage (15/2), Royal Shaheen (8/1), Bringitonboris (17/2), Four Kingdoms (12/1), Hooroo (12/1), Spantik (16/1), Key Spirit (16/1), Flames Of York (20/1), Ghayyar (33/1), Heavenly Tale (50/1)

A case can be made for a few here but at the likely odds FIRLINFEU could be worth siding with as he has slipped to a very lenient mark and caught the eye at Doncaster last time when doing good late work. Key Spirit is much less exposed and seems sure to step forward now handicapping so rates the chief threat, although in-form Motahassen is well worth considering too.
