Taking him on is Martyn Meade's Advertised, second in the Coventry to Legends Of War's stablemate Calyx.

Alan King is not known for speedy juveniles but runs dual winner Dunkerron with Aidan O'Brien represented by Van Beethoven and North Wind.

Charming Kid and Konchek complete the seven-runner field.
