Albert Camus (2/1), Military Man (11/4), Annandale (7/1), Pockley (8/1), Smart Qibili (8/1), Currency Exchange (9/1), Stanley Baldwin (12/1), Night Of Romance (16/1), Victim (25/1), Diamond And Gold (28/1), Hear Me Roar (33/1)

ALBERT CAMUS is chanced in a very trappy nursery. He shaped well both runs on turf and he may not have enjoyed the ups and downs of Newmarket last time. He can get off the mark at the third time of asking here. Currency Exchange can be forgiven a disappointing run on testing ground and may bounce back. Pockley is proven here and should also play a part.
