Lah Ti Dar (7/2), White Light (7/2), Arcadian Cat (9/2), Hazarfiya (9/2), Expensive Liaison (8/1), Juneau (16/1), Arendelle (20/1), Quicksand (25/1), Belle De Neige (25/1), Pink Phantom (50/1), Bossiney Bay (66/1), Eden Rose (66/1), Invincible Peace (66/1), Thresholdofadream (100/1)

A contest that looks sure to produce plenty of future winners and it's the full-sister to Derby winner Harzand that makes most appeal. HAZARFIYA shaped with plenty of promise on debut here and she can put that experience to good use with improvement expected. Expensive Liaison is another that will improve for a greater test of stamina but Lah Ti Dar has to be considered the main danger to the selection give her pedigree and the yard's record in this race.
