Spectacularsunrise (3/1), Cracking Rhapsody (6/1), Quaviste (7/1), Dedicated Hero (7/1), Hot Fuss (8/1), Captain Hugo (14/1), Jet To Vegas (14/1), Serious Challenge (16/1), Wise Eagle (16/1), Bespoke Tailor (16/1), Hamlet's Night (16/1), Lucky Manifest (18/1), Bertie's Ballet (22/1), Serious Operator (25/1), Laafi (40/1), City Of Diamonds (50/1), Heart Above (50/1)
This looks a good renewal. QUAVISTE caught the eye on his Kempton handicap debut and Dan Skelton's 6-y-o may be able to deny Cracking Rhapsody a third successive win in this. Serious Challenge and the likeable Hot Fuss are a few of many others who could play a prominent role.
