Diligent Harry (15/8), Valiant Force (15/8), Democracy Dilemma (10/3), Leovanni (15/2), Clearpoint (12/1), Golden Sickle (100/1)
VALIANT FORCE has an excellent record in small-field events on the all-weather, so his claims appear to be the most compelling, especially having proven his wellbeing with a recent win at Dundalk. Diligent Harry showed himself to be as good as ever when dead-heating here last time and shouldn't be inconvenienced by the return to the minimum trip, with the lightly-raced Leovanni most interesting of the rest.
