Inigo Jones (9/4), Farasi Lane (10/3), Rebel Territory (4/1), Fox Champion (6/1), Wonder Elmossman (8/1), Ouzo (10/1), Fantasy Believer (10/1), Lyndon B (14/1), Raising Sand (28/1)

A few in with a shout but a chance is taken on FOX CHAMPION. Ralph Beckett's charge shaped well on several occasions last season, and starting his 6-y-o campaign from a career-low mark, he's put forward as the answer. Inigo Jones made a low-key return to action under a change of tactics at Chelmsford last month but he's feared most with that under his belt. Farasi Lane and Rebel Territory can fight out third spot.
