Pulsating (11/4), Born To Finish (4/1), Major Valentine (6/1), Inlawed (8/1), Nezar (10/1), Glory of Paris (12/1), Bahamian Heights (12/1), Big Lachie (14/1), Professor (16/1), Red Tycoon (16/1), Kinglami (20/1), Deeds Not Words (20/1)
Plenty in with chances here seemingly, Born To Finish has a fair profile in this grade and should go well, while Glory of Paris is well worth paying attention to in the betting off a break as a previous course winner. Major Valentine and Nezar (first and second over C&D in April) could both mount a challenge but INLAWED gets the vote for in-form trainer Ed Walker. He won his first two starts here back in the autumn and ran well enough three weeks ago to suggest there is another prize within his grasp.
