Easy Code (5/2), Loveatfirstsight (5/2), Makhfar (7/2), Himalayan Queen (11/2), Bogsnog (15/2), Quite A Story (12/1), Wahaab (18/1), Langham (20/1), Prince Jai (25/1), Keene's Pointe (25/1), Fossa (33/1), Mr Conundrum (66/1)

LOVEATFIRSTSIGHT has run well over C&D the last twice and can defy a 3lb rise by taking this competitive looking handicap. The selection wore cheekpieces for the first time last time out and can register her first success in this contest with Easy Code, third on his only previous AW start taken to claim second ahead of top weight Makhfar who has been in good form so far this season.
