Jaafel (11/5), Massaman (10/3), Transition (8/1), Magic Charm (10/1), Pride Of Pimlico (10/1), Focus Required (14/1), Jazzy Dancer (14/1), Bright Glory (14/1), Tyrion's Dream (14/1), Zahee (16/1), Star Image (20/1), Sweet November (22/1), Atlas (22/1), Double Martini (25/1), Draco Pulchrac (25/1), Kasansay (66/1)

MASSAMAN took his form up another notch when scoring at the Curragh a week ago, displaying a good attitude to hold on, so he's worth a chance to follow up despite the penalty. Jaafel, who was back in fourth in the same race having travelled strongly, looks an obvious danger, while a big run from Bright Glory would come as no surprise.
