Thor De Cerisy (9/4), Tanganyika (5/2), Word Has It (4/1), Zambezi Fix (6/1), Ideal Pal (6/1), Port Or Starboard (9/1), Allavina (14/1), Blacko (16/1)

TANGANYIKA looked to be in the process of stepping up on his reappearance when falling 2 out at Uttoxeter 30 days ago, disputing second at the time, and the 5-y-o could still have more to offer having only his fourth start for Venetia Williams. He can get the better of Word Has It, who ran respectably on his return in December. Allavina is the pick of the remainder.
