Supervisor (9/4), Fortescue (3/1), First Lord De Cuet (9/2), Fidux (6/1), Run To Milan (17/2), Certainly Red (10/1), Wayfinder (12/1), Crosspark (14/1), Ashtown Lad (14/1), Demachine (14/1), Francky Du Berlais (16/1)

It's best to overlook CERTAINLY RED's effort in the Grimthorpe at Doncaster where he was one of eight that failed to complete in that 10-runner contest. He shaped as though ready to strike when hitting the crossbar at Sandown on his penultimate start and the drying ground here will be a big help. The lightly-raced Supervisor has resumed in good order this season and he is feared most ahead of Crosspark, Fidux and Run To Milan.
