Lazuli (10/11), Equilateral (11/4), Ekhtiyaar (12/1), Caspian Prince (14/1), Kilfrush Memories (20/1), Dream Today (20/1), Acclaim The Nation (25/1), King Ragnar (33/1), Eshaasy (33/1), Mutaraffa (40/1), Drummore (40/1), Riflescope (40/1), Fanaar (66/1), Speed Chance (100/1), Roussel (100/1)

LAZULI was right back on his game when landing the Group 3 World Trophy at Newbury in September and is sure to be well prepared for this return given the yard he represents. Caspian Prince has lost none of his zest despite his advancing years and he will attempt to make all, with Kilfrush Memories one to consider at longer odds.
