Astromachia (5/2), Faded Fantasy (7/2), Watergrange Jack (4/1), Bombyx (9/2), Thibault (15/2), Oceanline (12/1), Getareason (25/1), Valentino Dancer (28/1)

A few in with a shout but BOMBYX stepped up markedly on his belated comeback when fifth at Ludlow in May and, upped to 2½m for the first time, Lucy Wadham's 8-y-o is fancied to double his tally over obstacles. Faded Fantasy rates as a big danger on handicap debut having bolted up at Southwell last month, while there were more encouraging signs from Watergrange Jack in headgear last time, so he's another who could have a say in proceedings.
