Say The Word (10/3), Valentine's Turf (4/1), Chives (5/1), Altumanina (5/1), Zee Man (6/1), Special Brute (7/1), Bird On The Wire (15/2), Global Agreement (8/1), Cesar Du Gouet (11/1), Nuriel (18/1), The Imposter (20/1), Dynamic Kate (20/1)

DYNAMIC KATE showed plenty of improvement on her handicap bow when fourth at Taunton and can build on that run here off a 2 lb lower mark. Valentine's Turf rates a big danger now his stamina is drawn out more, while it would come as no surprise to see handicap-debutant Chives take a step foward here too in an open handicap.
