Gurkha Friend (2/1), Snoano (4/1), Miss Van Gogh (13/2), Knight Owl (7/1), Weekend Offender (7/1), Briardale (15/2), Rainbow Rebel (8/1), Strong Steps (16/1), Empress Ali (22/1), Silvery Moon (25/1)

A strong case can be made for most in this with Briardale and Gurkha Friend both winning well last time and now requiring career bests to follow up. Knight Owl won first time out last season so cannot be ruled out whilst Miss Van Gogh is down to an attractive mark. Snoano is dropped in class having not been disgraced in Group company at Chester last time. WEEKEND OFFENDER represents an age group that have won six of the last nine renewals of this. His latest run looks good given the winner ran a big race at Ascot last weekend and the runner-up bolted up at Newmarket on Friday. He looked unlucky in running that day and he is selected to gain compensation.
