Insomnia (13/8), Enfranchise (5/2), Starry Eyes (5/1), Shuv H'penny King (9/1), Always Fearless (11/1), Prince Rock (12/1)

INSOMNIA made a positive start to handicapping when third at Southwell a month ago and, with just three outings under his belt, there's scope for further improvement, so he's marginally preferred to the bang-in-form Starry Eyes, who is debuting for a new yard. Enfranchise is also worthy of consideration.
