Thereisnodoubt (9/4), Beat Box (5/2), Stainsby Girl (5/2), McGowan's Pass (6/1), Wor Verge (12/1), Enemy Coast Ahead (28/1), Excelcius (40/1)

This looks to rest between BEAT BOX and last year's winner Stainsby Girl with preference for James Ewart's revitalised 7-y-o who scored readily at Ayr last time despite getting loose to post and can defy a 7 lb rise in the weights. Nick Alexander's likeable mare rates a big threat though, with C&D winner Wor Verge appealing as the pick of the rest.
