My Noble Lord (10/11), Harper Valley (6/1), Faithfulflyer (6/1), Albatala (7/1), The Gray Ghost (11/1), Speed Davis (12/1), Les's Legacy (14/1), Circuit Breaker (14/1), Knomorediamonds (16/1), Coral Blue (22/1), Monteplex (80/1)

MY NOBLE LORD makes his handicap debut with aid of sizeable age allowance and he can put that to good use to regain the winning thread. Lightly-raced Knomorediamonds could have more to offer at this trip, while Les's Legacy looks well-treated if building on the promise of his last run.
