Don't Tell Su (5/2), Knight Of Allen (9/2), Fine Casting (5/1), Road To Home (11/2), Peso (6/1), Icare Grandchamp (12/1), Aviation (18/1), Lord Baddesley (18/1), Walking On Air (18/1)

FINE CASTING impressed with the way he travelled when going in at Bangor last time and looks weighted to go close again despite taking a 6 lb rise. Knight of Allen could emerge as the main danger after his promising Chepstow second on his chasing debut, although Peso, Road To Home and Lord Baddesley all merit plenty of respect too in this competitive handicap.
