Je Viens Du Large (5/2), Tigers Moon (10/3), Eric Carmen (7/2), Synchronist (6/1), Rhiannon Ring (6/1), Small Town Hero (15/2), Ici La Reine (10/1), Roxhill (16/1), Sawpit Samantha (20/1), Remarkable Flight (40/1), Monteplex (66/1)

In a very moderate race, TIGERS MOON appeals most having shown much improved form on handicap debut, particularly as he's bred to be much better than his current mark. Eric Carmen is the only runner to have won a hurdles race, so he's respected if able to back up his recent chase win, while Synchronist could be open to progress now sent handicapping.
