Crownbreaker (5/4), Wild Blossom (15/8), Miss Havisham (7/2), Calef (11/1)

A very interesting novice despite the lack of runners. CROWNBREAKER displayed a useful level of ability when third at the Newmarket Guineas meeting and has to be the percentage call but the newcomers all have something to recommend them, notably 300,000 gns breeze-up purchase Wild Blossom, whose top stable won this last year with subsequent Group 1 winner Venetian Sun.
