Okita Soushi (8/11), Firstman (2/1), Jerandme (9/2), Joupe (16/1), Dash Of Spice (66/1), An Madra Mor (250/1)

OKITA SOUSHI possesses much the best form on offer so is fancied to make light of his absence and make his polytrack debut a winning one. Jerandme appeals as the one to chase home Joseph O'Brien's smart 5-y-o with fellow C&D scorer Firstman next on the list.
