Didero Vallis (5/1), Huntsman Son (5/1), Springtown Lake (11/2), Senior Citizen (7/1), Modus (15/2), Sametegal (17/2), Might Bite (11/1), Flying Angel (12/1), Crievehill (12/1), Lord Du Mesnil (16/1), Dingo Dollar (16/1), Swift Crusador (16/1), Beau Bay (20/1), Sir Jack Yeats (33/1), Federici (33/1), Pink Eyed Pedro (40/1), Caid Du Lin (40/1), Amalfi Doug (66/1), Touch Kick (80/1)

Lots with chances so at the likely odds DIDERO VALLIS is worth siding with to build on his good fifth here 12 months ago off a 2 lb higher mark with his yard firmly among the winners. Huntsman Son made an impressive winning return at Wetherby and this good jumper is fancied to go well too with in-form Springtown Lake and veteran Sametegal also well worth considering in a very open handicap.
