Platenium (5/2), Johnny Boom (4/1), Secret Vino (11/2), One Million Dreams (11/2), Hello Sweety (13/2), Little Venice (7/1), Pottersmattyeeehaa (14/1), Lone Soldier (33/1), Celine Man (33/1)

It remains to be see in JOHNNY BOOM will back up his recent success on the Flat back in this sphere, but the chance is worth taking given that this mark is a potentially lenient one. Secret Vino took a step forward on his handicap debut at Worcester and will be a threat if able to build on that, while Little Venice and Platenium are others to consider.
