Kosometsuke (11/4), Philanthropist (3/1), Noodle Mission (7/1), Best Rate (11/1), Tennessee Gold (12/1), Yaaser (12/1), Bajan Bandit (12/1), Tolstoy (12/1), Benacre (14/1), Catalyse (14/1), Thurso (18/1), Brazilian Rose (25/1), Berry Clever (28/1), Almarada Prince (50/1)

James Fanshawe's C&D scorer PHILANTHROPIST rates just the pick of the weights on the back of his very good recent third here so looks the way to go in this highly competitive handicap. Kosometsuke is knocking firmly on the door but could again have to settle for runner-up spot, while Hamilton second Brazilian Rose and former winners of this Yaaser and Noodle Mission are others who command plenty of respect. Berry Clever completes the shortlist.
