Hurt You Never (5/1), Spring Is Sprung (11/2), Acrisius (8/1), Grandlad (8/1), Curious Rover (8/1), Knicks (10/1), Secret Mistral (10/1), Kinetic Force (10/1), Night On Earth (12/1), Copper Knight (12/1), Classy Al (14/1), Duran (14/1), Grace Angel (25/1), Reigning Profit (33/1), Balon D'or (50/1), Accrual (50/1)
A fiendishly competitive handicap in which it could pay to side with Paul Midgley's SPRING IS SPRUNG. He's been given a break since landing back-to-back wins in this series earlier in the summer and a 3 lb rise for the latest of them shouldn't prevent a bold bid to bag the £100,000 bonus. Duran promises to be suited by the way this race is likely to be run and he's feared. Mick & David Easterby trained-duo Acrisius and Knicks are others making appeal, along with Curious Rover and Grandlad.
