33/1

Winless since his debut in a Ripon novice but he posted a fairly useful effort when fourth of 7 to Santagada in Zukunfts-Rennen at Baden-Baden (7f, good to soft) 29 days ago. No forlorn hope.

Balzarini²⁹

200/1

Landed 5f maiden at Windsor in July and seemed to excel himself when 3½ lengths sixth of 7 to Santagada in Zukunfts-Rennen at Baden-Baden (7f, good to soft) 29 days ago. This is no easy ask though.

9/2

Made a winning debut for Gavin Cromwell at Naas in July and folloowed up for his new yard in 10-runner novice (6/5) at Ascot (6f, good to soft) 20 days ago. This requires much more however.

2/1

Expensive purchase who bagged a Lingfield maiden in May. Has advanced his form since, gelded before coming in runner-up in listed race at Doncaster (7f, good) 13 days ago. Much respected for yard with a good record in this event.

Monumental (5/4), Symbol Of Honour (2/1), Diego Ventura (9/2), The Waco Kid (13/2), Huscal (12/1), Assertively (33/1), Balzarini (200/1)

MONUMENTAL has improved a chunk with each of his four runs to date so rates a confident choice to go one better than his recent fine second in Doncaster's Champagne Stakes. Charlie Appleby's consistent Symbol of Honour appeals as the one to chase home Aidan O'Brien's son of Kingman ahead of The Waco Kid and Huscal.
