Galopin Des Champs (10/11), Mighty Blue (9/4), Sea Ducor (8/1), Patience Patience (10/1), Get My Drift (14/1), Shakespeare's Word (33/1), Hazran (50/1), Wasdale Park (100/1), Pictures Of Home (150/1)

GALOPIN DES CHAMPS was a winner of a big-field juvenile event on his sole start in France at Auteuil back in the spring and, having joined a powerful outfit, he's fancied to make a bold bid to make it 2-2 with progress highly likely. Sea Ducor and Patience Patience are respected in their own right however, whilst Mighty Blue is interesting given his exploits on the Flat.
