Capla Berry (3/1), Turntable (3/1), Byzantia (9/2), Ahdab (5/1), War Leader (5/1), Greek Kodiac (10/1)

BYZANTIA was progressive for John Gosden and she may still be on the upgrade judged on her eye-catching debut for this yard at Chelmsford 3 weeks ago. Capla Berry did well last season and shapes as though she'll stay this far, while Ahdab will find this easier having not been disgraced in a useful handicap at Kempton.
