Hombre De Guerra (4/7), Park Annonciade (3/1), Imaginary Dragon (11/2), Chumlee (12/1), Hasty Brook (12/1), Hermes Boy (28/1)

HOMBRE DE GUERRA produced a promising first effort in this sphere when runner-up in a Carlisle novice 32 days ago and he earns the vote to build on that now handicapping back at the scene of his sole hurdles victory. Park Annonciade can emerge as the chief threat.
