Legendary Day (2/1), Start In Front (16/5), Bertie's Wish (5/1), Lord Caprio (13/2), North Parade (10/1), Golden Town (12/1), Glimpse Of Gold (14/1), They Call Me Pete (14/1)

A trio of handicap newcomers make most appeal, with LEGENDARY DAY fancied to follow up his recent Flat success and gain a second C&D win of the season. Bertie's Wish got back on track last time and rates the biggest threat, whilst Start In Front would be interesting if able to replicate the form of his UK debut when scoring at Wetherby.
