Shantung (10/3), Group Stage (7/2), Not A Role Model (4/1), No Quarter Asked (11/2), Foreign Secretary (6/1), Paricolor (13/2), Show Promise (12/1), Hier Encore (18/1)

In the hope that the application of cheekpieces has the desired effect, GROUP STAGE gets the vote in this tricky-looking handicap. He wasn't disgraced in a better race than this at Doncaster last month and a further 2 lb drop in the weights leaves him on an appealing mark. Shantung's latest effort is best overlooked and she is feared, while recent chase winner Not A Role Model also has claims.
