High Degree (6/4), Ammes (3/1), Mr Seagull (11/2), Shoof Baeed (15/2), Jez Bomb (8/1), Financer (14/1), Without Compromise (25/1), Farasi Lane (80/1)

Verdict

He may well be proving expensive to follow but HIGH DEGREE has put up several good efforts in defeat this season and, with the possibility of being able to dominate this in first-time headgear, William Haggas' 4-y-o gets the nod. His main threat may emerge from Jez Bomb, who has won 2 of his last 3 starts here in recent weeks, while Shoof Baeed looks an interesting handicap debutant on paper, so he completes the shortlist.

  1. HIGH DEGREE
  2. JEZ BOMB
  3. SHOOF BAEED
