Caballo De Mar (4/1), Don Simon (9/2), Liam Swagger (9/2), Cello (13/2), Steel Tiger (7/1), Sixpack (8/1), Cock And Bull (10/1), Cardano (12/1), Knockbrex (14/1), Java Raja (16/1), Rakki (25/1), Vino Victrix (33/1), Sugarloaf Lenny (33/1), Clansman (80/1), Simiyann (80/1), Alright Sunshine (80/1)

CABALLO DE MAR confirmed he's one of the most progressive staying handicappers around when an easy winner at Southwell a fortnight ago and on that evidence, a 6 lb rise may not be enough to prevent the 5-timer. Sixpack has made the switch to James Owen so he's sure to be well prepared for this return to action, while Liam Swagger is also of interest from the same stable.
