Cousin Khee (9/4), Mighty Missile (11/4), Bistouri D'honore (11/4), Monderon (4/1), Baraymi (10/1), Mogestic (10/1)

Only the six runners but this isn't easy, with all six having a question mark hanging over them as far as really quick ground is concerned. Baraymi is on a good-looking mark if he can refind his form, but similar comments apply to MONDERON and he's likely to appreciate this quicker ground more than most here. The cheekpieces that he ran well in at Leicester are back on and despite some moderate form figures, can spring a minor surprise. Mighty Missile should run his race and get in the money.
