Joker De Mai (3/1), Kansas Du Berlais (7/2), Brook Bay (9/2), Awaythelad (13/2), I'd Like To Know (8/1), Rocco Royale (8/1), Colonial Empire (14/1), Hallwood (18/1), Naturally High (25/1), Zacony Rebel (28/1), Diablo De Rouhet (200/1)

Several to consider in this competitive handicap and ROCCO ROYALE could be the answer. He progressed during his novice campaign, cosily seeing off a dual subsequent winner when last seen during the spring, and he can be expected to kick on again now venturing down the handicap route. Colonial Empire is next on the list on the back of a creditable effort at Musselburgh, while French-import Joker de Mai, the selection's stablemate Brook Bay and unexposed Hallwood are others to consider.
