Take Heart (9/4), Wigmore Street (5/1), This Songisforyou (9/1), Soaring Monarch (10/1), Longbourn (10/1), Indigo Five (12/1), Alanya (12/1), Genuine Article (14/1), Mashhoor (14/1), Apercu (18/1), Himalayan Heights (18/1), Fleetfoot (20/1), Slieve Binnian (22/1), Helvic Dream (50/1)

WIGMORE STREET put it all together when landing a big-field handicap here last time and the longer trip promises to suit, so he's worth a chance to follow up at the possible expense of Take Heart, who landed a big race at Goodwood last time. This Songisforyou is another player.
