If The Cap Fits (2/1), Wishing And Hoping (7/1), Potters Legend (17/2), Minellacelebration (17/2), Sir Ivan (9/1), Cloth Cap (9/1), Dingo Dollar (12/1), Le Patriote (14/1), Forza Milan (16/1), Windsor Avenue (18/1), Indy Five (20/1)

IF THE CAP FITS didn't fully convince as a chaser as a novice in 2020/11 yet he still showed smart form, so could be worth chancing for a new yard off what looks a tempting mark. Potters Legend is another who's lurking on a good mark if revived by another stable, while last year's winner Wishing And Hoping should make another bold bid from the front.
