Zarathos (9/4), Whizz By (7/2), Panama Black (4/1), West Tyrone (13/2), Sorbus (8/1), Lady Mariko (17/2), Noble Phoenix (10/1), Fernando (20/1), Minelone (20/1), Rokuni (22/1), Orchestral Wave (25/1), Rock Diva (33/1)

PANAMA BLACK went very close off this mark at Wolverhampton 11 days ago so tops the shortlist with the drop back in trip a positive if anything. Whizz By unearthed further improvement when seeing off a subsequent winner when completing a course/handicap hat-trick here 7 weeks ago and is an obvious threat, with Zarathos also considered.
