Kihavah (13/8), Euchen Glen (11/2), Scampi (6/1), It's Good To Laugh (7/1), Emiyn (17/2), Dark Jedi (10/1), Prydwen (12/1), Haliphon (16/1), Nolton Cross (22/1), Sir Chauvelin (50/1), Oriental Lilly (150/1)
KIHAVAH has taken his form to another level this season, landing big-field handicaps at York on his last two starts in this sphere, either side of scoring over hurdles at Market Rasen. This demands a new personal-best but the 6-y-o may well be equal to the task. Last year's winner Dark Jedi failed to fire last time but he will have every chance if on-song. The veterans Euchen Glen and Sir Chauvelin both warrant respect, too.
