Spanish Present (13/8), Coole Cody (5/1), Onagatheringstorm (11/2), Listentillitellyea (17/2), Hooper (9/1), Seddon (10/1), Aurora Thunder (16/1), Fontana Ellissi (22/1), Francky Du Berlais (22/1), Glentruan (22/1), Arabian King (50/1), Bigz Belief (50/1), Garo De Juilley (66/1)

A very open handicap. ONAGATHERINGSTORM failed to go on after a promising start in handicaps last term but returns after a wind op on a handy mark here and with Fergal O'Brien's yard in excellent nick he can bounce back in style. Francky du Berlais and Coole Cody are better known for their chasing exploits but are still greatly respected back in this sphere and can chase home the selection in that order. Aurora Thunder and Listentillitellyea complete the shortlist.
