Jesse Evans (13/8), Tax For Max (13/8), Suprise Package (6/1), Almuhit (6/1), Gatsby Grey (7/1), Magellan Strait (12/1), Female Soldier (12/1), Goodbye Someday (200/1), Patrick Joseph (250/1)

TAX FOR MAX is better known as a useful jumper but he's a major player on these terms back on the level so he looks the one to beat. Jesse Evans is a big danger back over a more suitable trip, with Suprise Package interesting on Flat debut.
