Vandemere (1/1), Had To Be Hugo (10/3), Home Sweet Highway (6/1), Hell On Earth (8/1), Fly By Milan (10/1), Quian (12/1), Visite Officielle (16/1), Shadows In The Sky (25/1), Glenavaddra (100/1), Rue Galilee (150/1)

HAD TO BE HUGO has races in him for sure and could be the way to go with this likely to be a stiff test for the trip. Point-winner Vandemere made an encouraging start over hurdles at Newcastle after a long time off and can improve, while market support for Quian, a smart stayer on the level on his day in Germany, would be interesting.
