Glen Cannel (5/2), Lihyan (10/3), Presenting Nelly (5/1), Seasett (5/1), Benefit Ben (9/1), Castletown (12/1), Barrichello (14/1), Foveros (16/1), Better Getalong (22/1)

LIHYAN was given far too much ground to make up when runner-up at Musselburgh last time and he's fancied to go one better here. Glen Cannel chased home an unexposed pair at Haydock last time and is entitled to be in the mix on that effort, whilst the step up to an intermediate trip looks a positive move for handicap-newcomer Benefit Ben.
