Art Of Illusion (15/8), Great D'Ange (3/1), Aki Bomaye (5/1), Top Decision (13/2), Potters Hedger (11/1), Counteract (16/1), Taste The Fear (18/1), Steel Wave (22/1)

ART OF ILLUSION has looked a natural over fences and the return to this longer trip can see him resume winning ways. Great d'Ange is on the upgrade judged on his last 2 placed efforts and is next best ahead of Top Decision, who shaped as if retaining all his ability returning from a long absence when second at Stratford.
