Cancan (7/4), Skiddaw (15/2), Mack The Man (9/1), Lifetime Adventure (9/1), Batman For Ever (10/1), Don't Look Back (11/1), Serious Ego (12/1), River Ayr (14/1), Northern Cardinal (14/1), Kellie's Dream (20/1), Iolani (28/1), Sword Of Fate (28/1), Golden Swift (33/1), Captain Nelson (66/1)

CANCAN has been holding her form well, which is more than can be said for most, so she gets the nod ahead of Serious Ego, who ran with credit last time. Northern Cardinal is probably the pick of the numerous handicap debutants.
