Chestnut Fire (8/13), Hes Our Music (5/1), Burn The Boats (13/2), Elusive In Paris (8/1), Elusive Guest (8/1), Silca Wings (25/1), Mulzamm (25/1), Settle For Red (25/1), Illusive Force (33/1), See You When (40/1), Poppets Prince (66/1), Adelena (66/1)
Chestnut Fire is probably the most likely winner on paper but he's just started to look more vulnerable of late and might be worth taking on as a result. HES OUR MUSIC is prolific at this track and having delivered a rare below-par effort two starts ago, he was collared late on over a longer trip at the beginning of this month. The mile should extend him another chance to post a victory. Elusive Guest would have a great chance on the best of his UK form but there are no guarantees he can produce that now. Burn The Boats is capable of mounting a bid while Settle For Red gave an indication a fortnight ago that he might be ready to win a race of this nature.
