| Pos | No. | Dr | Horse | Form | Jockey | Trainer | Age | Wgt | Best decimal odds |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1st | 1 | 6 |
Betsen (G)
Dual winner would likely have made the frame barring trouble in running in a stronger race at Leicester prior to underperforming at Ascot last time, though could well be worth another chance down in grade.

Em Four (G)
FAV
Consistent sort who notched his third success of the year at Wolverhampton before running another solid race behind a subsequent winner at Salisbury last time. Has to enter calculations.

6/4
|
| 4th | 3 | 5 |
Marching Mac (G)
[T]
7-time turf winner is back on a workable mark following a stint on the all-weather (0-10), and he's one to consider returning from a short break, with any rainfall likely to be in his favour.

9-40431 | Grace McEntee | P S McEntee | 5 | 61.2 kg |

El Bufalo (G)
[PT]
4-time all-weather winner emerged with plenty of credit when sixth in a competitive 16-runner handicap at Ascot last time and cannot be discounted with Billy Loughnane taking over.

Lazzar (G)
[B1]
Had an excellent winter on the all-weather but ran badly in a deeper race at Windsor on his return to turf last time.

| 3rd | 6 | 2 |
So Smart (G)
[PT]
C&D winner ran a bit better than the beaten distance suggests when fifth of 8 at Lingfield last time. Now 3 lb below his latest winning mark and could get his own way in front here.
|
7-46533 | K T O'Neill | G Harris | 7 | 52.6 kg |

Betting forecast: Em Four (6/4), Betsen (3/1), Marching Mac (9/2), El Bufalo (5/1), So Smart (10/1), Lazzar (20/1)
