Pal Joey (2/1), Good Earth (5/1), Dark Kestrel (6/1), Farandaway (13/2), Harb (7/1), Ganesha (15/2), La Rochette (14/1), Bonito Cavalo (20/1), Phoenix Beach (20/1), Albegone (25/1), Glory Fighter (33/1)

GOOD EARTH was denied a clear run at Southwell last week and is better judged on his success off 2 lb lower at the same course on his penultimate start. The 9-y-o remains on an attractive mark and he could be the way to go in what looks a wide open race. If Phoenix Beach is on a going day he will be a threat, while Harb is third choice ahead of Dark Kestrel, Farandaway and recent C&D winner Pal Joey.
