Blairgowrie (2/1), Sheldon (6/1), Come On Gruff (6/1), Lady Kk (13/2), Don Alvaro (8/1), Atakan (10/1), Mont Saint Vincent (11/1), Blame The Game (12/1), Arthur's Seat (14/1), I'm A Starman (16/1), Grangeclare Glory (18/1), Grooveur (18/1), Watergrange Jack (18/1), Chloe's Court (22/1), Moonlight Flit (25/1), Oscarsman (33/1), Off The Planet (80/1)

There should be more to come from the unexposed BLAIRGOWRIE now stepping up in trip so he's the suggestion in this big-field finale. Don Alvaro and Come On Gruff head the dangers after last-time-out wins, while Blame The Game is well handicapped if able to build on a better run back hurdling last time.
