Coxy's Star (2/1), Meritocratic (10/3), Sailor Batt (4/1), Aurelune (9/2), Snaafy (6/1), Palliser (7/1), Myrrh (10/1), Zooter (12/1), Florizelle (22/1), Gifts Differing (25/1), Thestral (28/1), Carwyn (33/1), Exquisite Skye (50/1)

SNAAFY rates the clear pick of the weights off the same mark as when a resurgent third at Leicester a week ago so looks the way to go here. Coxy's Star is next on the list on the back of her recent C&D second, while Aurelune and Gifts Differing also need factoring in.
