Sir Rumi (16/5), High Fibre (10/3), Nathanael Greene (4/1), Savvy Knight (9/2), Saratoga Gold (8/1), Ravens Ark (17/2), Sheer Rocks (11/1), Rhythmic Intent (16/1), Onesmoothoperator (16/1), Green Team (22/1)

HIGH FIBRE looked a handicapper to follow when last seen out for Ralph Beckett and is worth siding with to defy an absence and make a winning start for Harry Fry. Nathanael Greene is another with better days ahead of him and feared most on his return ahead of the handily-weighted Savvy Knight. Rhythmic Intent and Sheer Rocks complete the shortlist in a fascinating handicap.
