Ephemeral (6/4), Melgate Majeure (9/2), Plansina (7/1), Prosili (9/1), Tundra (11/1), Deleyll (16/1), Epic Challenge (16/1), Cafe Milano (20/1), Music Major (22/1), Double Reflection (25/1), Compass Point (28/1), Final Attack (50/1), Memory Hill (50/1)

Kevin Philippart de Foy has made a promising start to his training career. He sends another ex-French trained horse out here in EPHEMERAL who has run creditably on a synthetic surface in France. Oisin Murphy is a noticeable booking and she can gain a first win. Melgate Majeure ran well last time and looks the biggest danger with Hollie Doyle taking over in the plate. Prosili can't be ruled out.
