Saint Cyr De Pail (7/2), Valirann Gold (4/1), Defi Nonantais (4/1), River Run Free (9/2), Rangatira Jack (6/1), Sea Thrift (13/2), Misteroddsocks (25/1), Alderley Charlie (28/1), Senor Diaz (40/1)

Verdict

SAINT CYR DE PAIL has made an encouraging start to his chasing career and is fancied to build on his recent Uttoxeter fourth. Valirann Gold emerged with credit in the face of a stiff task here last month and is also shortlisted dropped back into more realistic company, with Rangatira Jack another to consider going back up in trip.
