Steel Wave (9/4), First Figaro (11/4), Cracking Find (9/2), Tanarpino (13/2), Road To Rome (13/2), Game Of War (8/1), Royal Village (10/1), Vivas (11/1), Sir Jack Yeats (12/1)

It might be worth forgiving TANARPINO his run on very testing ground at Haydock just after Christmas and he might be up to defying top weight if he can recapture the level he showed when runner-up to a progressive sort at Bangor prior to that. Vivas has a solid record fresh so is respected back from a break. The Venetia Williams-trained First Figaro also makes the shortlist.
