Swift Hawk (13/8), Despereaux (5/1), Bertie Wooster (8/1), Bella Civena (8/1), Stanley Pincombe (9/1), Samazul (9/1), Lifetime Legend (12/1), Mikhailovich (18/1), Beau Haze (28/1), Behind The Curtain (50/1)

The most interesting of these by some way is SWIFT HAWK, who got bogged down in the deep ground at Stratford but conditions here will be more suitable and he makes his handicap debut in this sphere on a potentially handy mark. Bertie Wooster and Lifetime Legend can fill the places.
