Notimeforchitchat (11/4), Cristo (10/3), Caspian King (11/2), Golden Garden (15/2), Jiff's Army (9/1), Dalmally (16/1), Scarlet Sunset (18/1), Anthropologist (20/1), Phrygia (20/1), Navid (22/1), Say What You See (22/1), Is I Right (25/1), Shielas Well (25/1), Glenridding (28/1), Magna Gee Gee (40/1), Dapper Gee Gee (80/1)

NOTIMEFORCHITCHAT rates the pick of the weights on the back of his recent Kempton victory so edges the vote in this wide open handicap. Scarlet Sunset is also weighted to have a say and heads the list of dangers. Handicap debutant Caspian King commands plenty of respect too along with Dalmally, Phrygia and Jiff's Army.
