Ziggy's Ariel (4/1), Rogue Bullet (4/1), Beaujolais Nouveau (9/2), Macedonian (5/1), Chuti Manika (13/2), East Tyrone (9/1), Sundiata Keita (9/1), Invitorio (10/1), Toota (14/1)

This looks competitive and despite being drawn on the flank it could be worth siding with INVITORIO. He continued his theme of race-by-race progress when staying on for fourth on return/handicap debut at Pontefract 18 days ago and he could yet have more to offer with this ease in class a plus. Beaujolais Nouveau and Macedonian are others to consider, along with Rogue Bullet.
