Slipway (4/1), Truckers Lodge (11/2), Flower Of Scotland (6/1), Doyen Breed (13/2), The Wolf (9/1), Captain Cattistock (10/1), The Ferry Master (10/1), Just Don't Know (11/1), Regina Dracones (16/1), Tide Times (18/1), Magna Sam (22/1), Innisfree Lad (22/1), Mighty Thunder (50/1)

This marathon trip could be just the ticket for DOYEN BREED, who held his own in decent company as a novice last season and he should be all the better following his pipe-opener over hurdles at Doncaster. The 8-y-o has edged down to an attractive mark, too, and gets the nod in an open-looking contest. Slipway is still progressing judged on his latest success at Fontwell and he looks a big threat. Truckers Lodge and Flower of Scotland are others with appealing claims.
