Linwood (10/3), Akkadian Thunder (7/2), Arctic Thunder (9/2), Mirabeau (11/2), Believe The Storm (15/2), Blue Prince (14/1), Christian David (18/1), Tarkhan (18/1), Jumby (18/1), Star Anthem (20/1), Fleetwater (50/1)
Plenty in with chances but ARCTIC THUNDER had little go right when sent off a well-backed favourite at Haydock a fortnight ago so, granted better luck in-running, Ed Walker's 4-y-o gets the narrow vote over Linwood, who has taken his form up a level this season and should have even more to offer (went like a well-treated horse last time). Akkadian Thunder and veteran Jumby can fight out minor honours.
