Event Of Sivola (4/1), Iwasthefutureonce (4/1), Gold Runner (9/2), Sigurd (13/2), Uisce Ur (8/1), Epsom Des Mottes (10/1), Path To Freedom (10/1), Smuggler's Stash (14/1), Iskabeg Lane (20/1), Stormy Milan (20/1), Chase The Wind (25/1), Buzzkillbob (25/1), Archie Brown (40/1), Solid Strike (40/1)

Lots of these have question marks against them so this looks a good opportunity for EVENT OF SIVOLA to open his account for Mark Walford after a run of good efforts in the frame. Gold Runner is unexposed over fences and has the potential to have a big say if his stamina holds out over this much longer trip, while Epsom Des Mottes is another who is weighted to go well if on song.
