Native American (4/5), Nikki Swango (10/3), Mercian Warrior (15/2), Lively Set (10/1), Revenue (14/1), Clarita (22/1), Vestigia (22/1), Platino Bianco (28/1), Anvika (80/1), St Laurence's Gate (80/1), Pearl Jewel (80/1), Courageous Strike (100/1)

British raiders have mopped up this valuable sales race and NATIVE AMERICAN makes plenty of appeal for Richard Fahey, who took this in 2020 with one under Colin Keane. He made an impressive start when scoring at York in May and could be hard to beat if improving as expected. Nikki Swango is feared most, ahead of Lively Set.
