St Lukes Chelsea (4/1), Siam Park (9/2), Postponed Legacy (9/2), Knight Templar (6/1), Tilehurst (15/2), Kentucky River (8/1), Midnight View (8/1), Public Enemy (14/1), Moutarde (22/1), Arctic Voyage (28/1)

Conditions here are likely to be quicker than what KENTUCKY RIVER has so far faced over hurdles and that factor, combined with the obvious potential for improvement now pitched into a handicap for the first time in this sphere, makes the 4-y-o very appealing. Midnight View appears to be getting his act together and may emerge as the main danger, for all that Postponed Legacy has to be feared in current form. Knight Templar and Tilehurst are others to consider.
