Le Rocher (13/8), Theatrebar (4/1), Tintern Theatre (9/2), Shades Of Midnight (8/1), The Gipper (9/1), Melodic Rendezvous (10/1), Vicangelome (25/1), Forthefunofit (33/1)
Few of these can be dismissed out-of-hand, with a number of fascinating contenders. Perhaps MELODIC RENDEZVOUS can roll back the years by conceding weight all round here. A former winner at the highest level, he has shown he still retains some of his old ability with decent races in behind the likes of Ch'Tibello and The New One. There will be doubts over whether this is his trip, but he has had excuses on his previous poor runs over 2m4f. Le Rocher, who may or may not have run Clyne very close when second in the Haydock fog last time, and the fast improving Theatrebar are others to consider.
