Hornsea Bay (2/1), Crowd Quake (7/1), Austrian Theory (7/1), Rogue Impact (7/1), Fantasy Believer (9/1), Whathappensinvegas (11/1), Qitaal (11/1), Salamanca City (12/1), City Of Delight (14/1), Capla Lazarus (18/1), Freddy Robinson (25/1), Manila Thriller (28/1)

This is wide open but James Owen's ROGUE IMPACT took a step forward on his first go in handicap company when second at Thirsk and can build on it to resume winning ways. The handily-weighted duo Hornsea Bay (second choice) and Salamanca City head the list of dangers, although last year's winner Fantasy Believer and Ayr victor Capla Lazarus also need factoring in.
