The Gay Cavalier (5/2), Miss Inga Sock (11/4), Seven Clans (7/2), Gold Merlion (5/1), Roy Rocket (6/1), Lacan (7/1), Gannicus (8/1), Pernickety (10/1), Spiritual Star (16/1)

The Gay Cavalier and Pernickety are suited to these switchback courses and both look set to go well with experienced riders on board. Gold Merlion only won a seller last time but that will have helped her confidence and her previous form suggests she will cope with a 6lb rise in the weights. SEVEN CLANS travelled nicely into the race at Yarmouth on Tuesday. He was denied a clear run that day and forced a well supported rival to pull out all the stops. This looks easier and, with Megan Nicholls proving excellent value for her claim, the pair can take this.
