Sea And Sun (9/4), St Mawes (9/4), Cranachan (9/2), Dino Bellagio (13/2), Howth (8/1), Westerton (20/1), Venezuelan (22/1), Kuredu King (28/1), Midnight Rumble (40/1)

SEA AND SUN couldn't build on the promise he displayed in novice/maidens at the first attempt in handicaps at Goodwood 24 days ago but he still appeals as a staying handicapper to keep on the right side of this season so he shades preference in receipt of weight all round. St Mawes shaped much better than the distance beaten suggests over a marathon trip last time and he's a big threat under Billy Loughnane. Midnight Rumble completes the shortlist.
