Bint Havana Gold (11/4), Thomas Equinas (5/1), Sir Maxi (13/2), Forever Proud (8/1), Zu Run (9/1), Split Elevens (10/1), Call Glory (10/1), Prefer The Sister (10/1), Rhythmic Acclaim (12/1), Poetic Force (14/1), Charlatan (16/1), Capuchinero (16/1), Harry Magnus (40/1), Spirit La Adelita (40/1), Delta Legend (40/1), Shot Of Love (50/1)

Successful over C&D on his penultimate start, SIR MAXI shaped as if still in top form when runner-up at Newcastle 3 weeks ago, finishing well when eventually getting a gap. He earns the vote to continue the good work despite being drawn a little wider than ideal. Split Elevens similarly arrives in good form and is feared. Call Glory, Charlatan and Forever Proud are others making the shortlist.
