Woodland Park (2/1), Blue Carpet (5/1), Arcadian Star (11/2), Skuna Bay (13/2), Block Rockin Beats (13/2), Esprit Du Potier (8/1), Icare Allen (20/1), Moonset (20/1), Sixty Plus (25/1), Pinot Rouge (50/1)

Following a much improved second on handicap debut (form recently franked), BLUE CARPET makes plenty of appeal to go one better. Woodland Park is bred to be suited by this longer trip and may well improve for it, while Arcadian Star looks an interesting handicap debutant for last year's winning connections.
