Gardefort (5/2), Astre De La Cour (7/2), Grey Gold (4/1), Pain Au Chocolat (5/1), Doctor Phoenix (9/1), Somchine (10/1), Ut Majeur Aulmes (10/1), Croco Bay (16/1)

Verdict

It's not hard to make out a case for number of these on various form-lines, particularly Astre De La Cour who went close in a similar contest last time and Gardefort who will relish the return to an easier surface. Pain Au Chocolat should also be competitive but it may pay to remain on the right side of the veteran GREY GOLD who looked as good as ever when winning at Sandown recently and gets the added bonus of Barry Geraghty in the saddle. 1. Grey Gold 2. Astre De La Cour 3. Pain Au Chocolat
