Formal Display (9/4), London City (9/4), Queen Of Thunder (7/1), Settlement (7/1), Atlantic Coast (10/1), Chantilly (12/1), Shamsuddin (16/1), Rebelsontherun (18/1), Lord Church (40/1), Mindful Applause (40/1), Jack Spriggins (50/1), Suilleabhain (50/1), Livin It Up (100/1)

A race full of newcomers and it should prove to be an above-average maiden with several entered for big races. Dewhurst-entry LONDON CITY looks the obvious one being out of 1000 Guineas/Irish 1000 Guineas winner Winter. Juddmonte-pair Settlement and Formal Display are other likely types, though the market will be informative.
