Great Acclaim (11/4), Sondad (4/1), Brian (13/2), Musical Touch (7/1), El Bodon (7/1), King's Lynn (8/1), Streets Of Gold (8/1), Mister Bluebird (12/1), Tarkhan (12/1), Vafortino (16/1)
MUSICAL TOUCH hasn't put a foot wrong since making a winning reappearance at Thirsk in April, so Richard Fahey's 4-y-o gets the nod to notch career victory number 3 at the expense of Great Acclaim, who landed a big-field handicap at Glorious Goodwood last week and rates as a huge danger carrying a penalty. Mister Bluebird edged out El Bodon at Yarmouth a fortnight ago and they can fight out minor honours here.
