Magical Effect (9/2), Straightothepoint (5/1), Alkhor (11/2), Dragon King (13/2), Dandyleekie (7/1), Rantan (15/2), Royal Connoisseur (9/1), Eastern Racer (12/1), Salvatore Fury (14/1), Gabrial The Tiger (16/1), Still On Top (33/1), Best Trip (33/1), Honeysuckle Lil (40/1), Taskeen (66/1), Mywayistheonlyway (66/1)

Dandyleekie goes well fresh and took this last year. He can make a bold bid to defy a 3lb higher mark, though his draw is not ideal and we suggest taking him on with STRAIGHTOTHEPOINT. Bryan Smart's five-year-old is also 3lb higher than a C&D win last year and also goes well fresh, while his stands side draw looks more attractive. Still On Top requires a market check, while Rantan, Gabrial The Tiger and Dragon King all have points of recommendation in a competitive heat.
