Blue Shark (3/1), Armchair Farmer (7/2), Scamallach Liath (4/1), Seymour Promise (9/2), Langley Hundred (13/2), Kingsmill Gin (10/1), Jen's Georgie (20/1), Sam's The Man (66/1)

A competitive handicap with the narrow vote in favour of BLUE SHARK. He's proved a different proposition tackling trips at around 2½m, completing a handicap 5-timer at Huntingdon 15 days ago and a 5 lb higher mark may not be enough to prevent another bold showing now his stamina is tested further. Handicap-debutant Scamallach Liath rates a likely improver up in trip and is feared, along with the in-form Seymour Promise.
