Lightonthewing (4/1), Bebraveforglory (4/1), Magnificent Ben (4/1), Just Go For It (11/2), Imperial Joe (13/2), Kingcormac (15/2), Eurowork (8/1), Ambion Hill (9/1), Arctic Footprint (16/1), Calvinist (25/1), Flash Gorcombe (28/1), Dont Be Robin (33/1), Broadoak (33/1), Barrowmount (50/1)

BEBRAVEFORGLORY is fancied to quickly resume winning ways given this shorter trip should suit and he has been eased 1 lb in the weights. Magnificent Ben rates the chief threat on the back of his good Lingfield second while the returning Ambion Hill is another to consider for the Tizzard team.
