Shang Tang (10/11), Butterwick Brook (9/4), Folly Gate (7/1), Oscars Moonshine (8/1), Percy Pops (16/1), Madam Malina (18/1), Howaboutrightnow (40/1), Hewn From Granite (40/1), Freddy Fanatapan (80/1), Into The Mist (100/1), Field Master (150/1), Queen Of The Court (200/1)
SHANG TANG is a fairly confident selection. He had shown decent form prior to running well for a long way in better company at Cheltenham last time and the combination of the drop back in class and step up in trip can prove ideal. Main danger may be Oscars Moonshine whose yard has a fine record in this race. He is better than he showed on debut for connections last time, while Butterwick Brook is another representing a top yard who has shown enough to suggest he can win a race. Folly Gate looks best of the rest.
