Captain Chaos (9/4), My Old Gold (10/3), Gardefort (10/3), Late Romantic (4/1), Smooth Stepper (9/1), Duke Debarry (22/1)

Marginal preference in a tight-knit handicap is for CAPTAIN CHAOS, who is in a rich vein of form since the blinkers went back on and fancied to add to his recent Ascot win off a 5 lb higher mark. My Old Gold arrives in good nick and can also boast a success here earlier in the season so rates next best, although Late Romantic could have a big say too if a recent wind op ekes out some improvement.
