Alshimali (6/4), Call Time (3/1), Upper Hand (11/2), Bernard Spierpoint (7/1), Barnsnape Boy (15/2), Professor Tickle (8/1), Nordic Glory (8/1), Big Time Rascal (9/1), Dreambird Dolly (11/1), Second Collection (14/1)

Tony Carroll's ALSHIMALI went with some promise when third over 6f at Windsor recently and can quickly resume winning ways now back in distance here. Nordic Glory is also weighted to have a say and could emerge as the main danger, although the likes of Barnsnape Boy, Call Time and Upper Hand all need factoring into this competitive sprint.
