Final Nudge (10/3), Aso (7/2), Indy Five (7/1), Gwencily Berbas (8/1), The Kings Writ (9/1), Wandrin Star (10/1), Rolling Dylan (14/1), Prime Venture (18/1), Dashing Perk (18/1), Sir Ivan (22/1), Valadom (22/1), Dancing Shadow (22/1), Psychedelic Rock (66/1)

A tremendous servant to connections, ASO found things coming easier to him having a first foray into veterans' company when beaten only by a resurgent Blaklion (won easily again since) at Haydock early last month and he may well be up to conceding weight all round at this slightly shorter trip. Warwick-scorer Final Nudge rates next best, ahead of The Kings Writ and last year's third Sir Ivan.
