Omniscient (5/2), Tequilamockingbird (7/2), Sooghan (9/2), Carausius (5/1), State Of Bliss (13/2), El Picador (12/1), Merseyside (14/1), Thunder Ahead (18/1), Udaberri (33/1), Blow Your Horn (33/1), Soaring Star (66/1), The Trader (150/1)

OMNISCIENT won easily at Yarmouth on his penultimate outing and his latest one at Goodwood is easy to excuse, so he's fancied to get back to winning ways after a couple of months off. Tequilamockingbird and Carausius, who both ran with credit here last time, should be on the premises again.
