Surrey Princess (13/8), Fen Tiger (16/5), Vertice (13/2), King Christophe (17/2), Tribuna Uffizi (11/1), Dream Chaser (11/1), Caribbean Spring (16/1), Only The Brave (18/1), Lmntrix (20/1), Apache Jewel (25/1), Sunline (50/1), Rememberthetitans (125/1)

SURREY PRINCESS is less exposed than her rivals and arrives on the back of a creditable third at Lingfield, so she gets the nod under Simon Walker. Only The Brave is liable to bounce back after a break, so she's considered under another of the more experienced riders, and Vertice is no forlorn hope after a solid showing at Newcastle recently.
