Lucky Hero (1/1), Penhallam (5/2), Mr Writer (9/2), Lohoobb (5/1), Piazza (15/2), You Sexy Thing (9/1), Airside (11/1)

PENHALLAM is the sole previous winner in the field and on the back of his best effort yet when second at Newbury a fortnight ago, he makes plenty of appeal for his in-form stable. Lucky Hero is second choice with Oisin Murphy taking over, while Piazza boasts the right profile for nurseries and represents a shrewd yard.
