Leadenhall (1/2), Prince of Zenda (10/3), Bauhinia Rhapsody (8/1), Iconic Moment (16/1), Strike Alliance (18/1), Smooth Ryder (25/1), Dog Fox (40/1), Beauzee (66/1), Margaret Beaufort (200/1)

LEADENHALL made a promising start when a debut Sandown fifth and Ralph Beckett's Kingman colt looks the one to beat here with plenty of progress in the pipeline. James Tate's newcomer Iconic Moment catches the eye on paper so commands lots of respect while once-raced duo Prince of Zenda and Dog Fox have more to offer and can't be dismissed.
