Scale Force (4/1), Munificent (5/1), My Joker (6/1), Dash For It (15/2), Charming Kid (17/2), Duke Of Firenze (9/1), The Tron (10/1), Billy Dylan (11/1), Sir Philip (11/1), Secretfact (14/1), Country Charm (22/1)
A decidedly tricky opener and a chance is taken on MY JOKER. He needs to dispel a lesser effort at Windsor 8 days ago but his previous form reads well in the context of this race and it would come as no surprise to see him bounce back. Veteran Duke of Firenze wasn't disgraced from a wide draw at Chester recently and is also worth a look. Munificent and Billy Dylan complete the shortlist.
