Just Loose Change (3/1), Vicki Vale (7/2), Zoffee (9/2), Inca De Lafayette (15/2), Mr Freedom (9/1), El Rio (9/1), Killaloan (11/1), Ask Brewster (18/1), Galahad Quest (22/1), Bread And Butter (28/1), Bashful Boy (40/1), Getalead (80/1)

Lots with chances but ZOFFEE, a useful Flat stayer for Hugo Palmer, starts out with Olly Murphy on a reduced mark back hurdling so gets the vote. In-form C&D winner Just Loose Change rates a big threat, with Ask Brewster also well in the mix on his handicap debut. Mr Freedom completes the shortlist.
