Band Of Blood (3/1), Rathlin Rose (7/2), Seeyouatmidnight (9/2), Theatre Guide (5/1), Sego Success (11/2), Houblon Des Obeaux (8/1), Loose Chips (8/1), Fox Appeal (10/1), No Duffer (20/1)
Band Of Blood has been in useful form and holds some of these on Doncaster form, but he might feel the pinch having run at the Cheltenham Festival. SEGO SUCCESS was behind him on Town Moor, though he travelled like the best horse for a long way. Alan King's charge can atone for that now. Last year's winner Loose Chips is perfectly entitled to be in the mix again along with Theatre Guide and Rathlin Rose, who would prefer if this was at Sandown.
