Pergamon (6/5), Soleil D'arizona (3/1), Zucayan (11/2), Ufouria (8/1), Lord Cauvelliere (8/1), Hooper (16/1), The Tide Turns (150/1)
This looks to revolve around PERGAMON, who found a chunk of improvement to make a winning return at Huntingdon last month and Jennie Candlish's 5-y-o can make light of a 7 lb rise. All 3 of Zucayan's wins have been over C&D and having won this race last year, he's put forward as the main danger on reappearance. Lord Cauvelliere has shown precious little so far over hurdles, but the switch to a handicap may well see him in a better light.
