Le Soleil Reve (4/1), Light Fandango (11/2), King Of The Road (6/1), Meatloaf (13/2), Lucky Bere (15/2), Choice Runner (15/2), One Eye On Vegas (9/1), Valadon (10/1), Purple Owl (12/1), Teorie (18/1), Moutarde (28/1), Doctor Glide (80/1)

This is wide open so at the likely odds it is worth siding with course winner MEATLOAF, who has slipped to an attractive mark and looks primed for a bold showing after his encouraging sixth here last time out. Resurgent Kempton second King Of The Road rates a big threat though and Dan Skelton's handicap debutant Choice Runner also has plenty to recommend him. Le Soleil Reve and Lucky Bere can't be discounted either.
