Gaassee (11/8), Oneforthegutter (10/3), Youthful King (9/2), City Streak (6/1), Max Mayhem (6/1), The Whipmaster (17/2), Nolton Cross (12/1), Saratoga Gold (12/1), Protected Guest (66/1)

GAASSEE is one to be interested in now he's back in form and can give the weight away. Recent C&D scorer Oneforthegutter is unexposed over this trip and is feared most ahead of Andrew Balding's City Streak, who had an excuse when behind Youthful King at Windsor last time and had been in good form prior to that.
