Respond (10/11), El Burhan (10/3), Whip Cracker (8/1), Clouds Hill (8/1), Auld Toon Loon (12/1), Great David (12/1), Triple Double A (14/1), Bragbor (14/1), Norwalk Havoc (14/1), Savvy Victory (20/1), Janey Mackers (33/1), Bravais (50/1), Callianassa (66/1), Echalar (80/1)

RESPOND has a good draw for one who has been ridden from the front in recent starts and this progressive 4-y-o makes obvious appeal for a leading stable. El Burhan, who won at this meeting last year, was just under 3 lengths behind the selection at Kempton last time but is entitled to come on for that first run of the season and is feared most ahead of Whip Cracker.
