City Of Kings (8/13), Paddington (9/2), Onslow Gardens (5/1), Lion Tamer (6/1), Burnish (15/2), Sovereign Spirit (22/1), Saxon King (40/1), Back See Daa (50/1), Eligius (80/1)

CITY OF KINGS produced an eye-catching debut after missing the break at Sandown and, with a good chunk of improvement on the cards, he's worth a chance to open his account despite the presence of several interesting newcomers, the most notable of them being Paddington and Burnish. Onslow Gardens, who also showed up well first time out, is another to consider.
