Salam Ya Faisal (7/2), Velvet Vista (9/2), Ventura Vision (9/2), Royal Heart (13/2), Golden Age (7/1), Swissal (8/1), Saunton (9/1), Vino Santo (12/1), Aces (14/1), Silent Witness (20/1), Zafaranah (20/1), Beepeecee (50/1), Business Flight (80/1), Sparkling Diamond (125/1)

A wide-open handicap in which the 3-y-o runners make more appeal than their elders. ROYAL HEART has fewer miles on the clock than most of these and on the pick of his form would have a decent chance under a good value 5 lb claimer. Ventura Vision is a C&D winner that should appreciate the return to polytrack and she has to be taken seriously. Of the older horses, Velvet Vista makes most appeal.
