Weellan (2/1), Storm Ahead (11/4), Shouranour (7/2), Acrux (11/2), How Bizarre (7/1), Zain City (7/1), Two For Two (9/1), Mutarakez (16/1)
Not a race for voicing a strong opinion, but once more plenty of these horses have proven course form. Shouranour won this off 14lb higher in 2017, and finally got back on the right track when chasing home the once reluctant to win but now wholly revitalised Acrux over C&D recently, and that pair meet on 4lb revised terms today. Mutarakez will be suited by rain and has the ability to win this is electing to apply himself, whilst Storm Ahead represents the in-form Tim Easterby. However, the tentative selection is HOW BIZAARE who is unexposed on turf, and returns from a break off a lightweight.
