Big Bresil (10/3), Ashfield Paddy (4/1), Portstorm (11/2), Supakalanistic (7/1), Mr Scrumpy (7/1), Shah An Shah (17/2), Sultans Pride (10/1), French Paradoxe (12/1), Theligny (28/1), Mr Clarkson (50/1)

A competitive staying handicap with several holding claims including BIG BRESIL. A low-mileage 6-y-o, he ran his best race to date when runner-up in a Bangor handicap in January and it's possible this even greater test of stamina will bring about further progress. Supakalanistic is proving admirably consistent under various codes and is feared, along with Ashfield Paddy and Sultans Pride.
