Imperial Measure (5/2), I'm Too Tired (3/1), Joie De Vivre (10/3), Coup De Gold (4/1), Brian's Jet (9/2), Halpha Soleil (7/1), Kurphy (20/1), Big Bee Hive (33/1), Scots Gold (40/1)

COUP DE GOLD is winless since 2019 but has slipped to a competitive mark and was unlucky to bump into a thriving rival over 2m here last time, so a chance is taken he'll go one better with the return to an intermediate trip rating as a positive. Imperial Measure has held his form admirably since scoring at Newton Abbot and should go well again, with Joie de Vivre also high on the shortlist.
