Ferrous (2/1), Shaquille (11/4), Eminency (9/2), Chasseral (11/2), Expert Agent (11/2), Almaty Star (6/1), Buccabay (15/2), Washington Heights (8/1), Bonny Angel (16/1), Tenjin (18/1), Brave Nation (20/1)

Plenty with chances but EMINENCY looked extremely unlucky not to win on his reappearance at Kempton 17 days ago and is worth backing to make amends. Expert Agent has done nothing but improve since undergoing a gelding operation and there's no reason why he can't transfer his all-weather form to turf. Ferrous shaped better than the bare result on his C&D handicap debut and completes the shortlist.
