Gorcombe Moonshine (3/1), Famoso (4/1), Mister Marbles (5/1), Guillaume (7/1), Tropical Talent (7/1), Icarat (7/1), Key Factor (8/1), Thatza Dazzler (20/1), Lustleigh (20/1), Beannaigh Do (22/1), Dancing Dani (33/1)

FAMOSO has a solid, upwardly-mobile profile over fences and would likely have gone close but for a late error here last time, so he takes marginal preference over Guillaume, who arrives on the back of a comfortable success at Catterick. Gorcombe Moonshine is also considered.
