Distinction (9/4), Josiebond (9/2), Scarriff (6/1), Barleybrown (13/2), Premiership (17/2), Ribkana (10/1), Star Of St James (11/1), Mr Heinz (14/1), Rayena (20/1), Perovskia (28/1), Blackintime (28/1), Knight Of Magic (40/1), Jackie Diamond (40/1)

In a contest where few arrive with compelling claims the suggestion is DISTINCTION, who had an excuse at Pontefract last week and had been a good second over C&D prior to that. Ribkana is still a maiden but she was second here last summer and finished a creditable fourth at Ripon 10 days ago. Perovskia brings unexposed potential to her handicap debut and also makes the shortlist.
