Rogue Diplomat (7/2), White Crown Star (4/1), Rockin' The Boat (5/1), Solar Army (15/2), Hunky Dory (15/2), Silver Ghost (12/1), Noble Guest (12/1), Arbitration (12/1), Gilet (14/1), Beronia (14/1), Nahash (14/1), Zabeel Road (20/1), Louie The Legend (28/1)

A valuable handicap for the grade and this is very competitive. Despite not looking the most straightforward, SOLAR ARMY progressed again to land a 7f Kempton handicap last time and he remains open to further improvement back on turf. Arbitration has shaped as though this return to 7f should suit and could be lurking on a dangerous mark, while Nahash was much improved on handicap debut and could well have more to offer. Rockin' The Boat, whose debut form is working out, also makes appeal.
