Socialist Agenda (7/2), Virtual Hug (4/1), Foinix (5/1), Black Smoke (11/2), Calshot Spit (11/2), Casa Luna (18/1), Three Dons (22/1), Duveen (22/1), Gentle Fire (40/1), Biscoff Joe (150/1)

If VIRTUAL HUG takes his chance he will prove a tough nut to crack following his cosy success in an apprentices' handicap here on Tuesday, for which he escapes a penalty.The 6-y-o was beaten 2 lengths by Black Smoke over C&D on his penultimate start but now meets that rival on 4 lb better terms. Black Smoke is respected nonetheless, while Socialist Agenda is also shortlisted and Calshot Spit makes some each-way appeal.
