Celtic Dino (6/4), Tutti Quanti (11/4), Listentoyourheart (8/1), Wilful (17/2), Alexei (10/1), Norman Fletcher (10/1), Balhambar (18/1), No Ordinary Joe (25/1), Titan Discovery (25/1), Tour Ovalie (40/1), Scintillante (50/1)

Useful juvenile TUTTI QUANTI has plenty of scope for progression and is fancied to make a winning handicap debut on his return. Dan Skelton may unlock further improvement from talented mare Listentoyourheart, while Alexei looks interesting if he can settle back over 2m. Of the rest, Balhambar's form from last season looks solid and he should be spot on for this following a spin on the Flat, while it's still early days for Celtic Dino who ran well on handicap debut at Aintree in April.
