Diligent (3/1), Galileo Silver (18/5), Take Em Out (6/1), Jarlath (15/2), Nikap (9/1), Blaze A Trail (12/1), Lord Bryan (12/1), Lord Schnapps (12/1), Cheltenam De Vaige (14/1), Rizzardo (20/1)

DILIGENT continues in good heart despite having his winning run ended at Fakenham 3 months ago and should remain competitive off this sort of mark with 7 lb conditional Kieren Buckley back on board. Galileo Silver is open to improvement as a chaser so warrants respect, while Lord Bryan will find this less competitive having struggled in the Summer Plate at Market Rasen.
