Grizedale (11/4), Crack On Boys (4/1), Mythical Guest (9/2), Wujjood (6/1), Angel Hunter (13/2), Knights Gold (7/1), Gloriously Sassy (15/2), War Howl (10/1), Fifty Nifty (14/1), Herculeus (16/1), Shimmering Spin (33/1), Shihoku (66/1)

All-weather form often translates well to this track and GRIZEDALE, who has shown plenty in his three starts on synthetics, gets the nod in this competitive heat. The drop to 7f did him no favours at Kempton last time, but he looked promising when winning over this trip at the same track previously and remains with scope for improvement. Crack On Boys and the filly Wujjood are both feared, while Angel Hunter and Knights Gold are others to consider.
