Mutarabby (9/4), Hold Sway (11/4), Marine One (11/4), Zenon (8/1), King Of Paris (8/1), Buldan (14/1), Park Paddocks (20/1), Lord Kitten (66/1), Aladdin Sane (100/1)

The pair of Godolphin runners looks the two to beat here. Mutarabby improved from his debut to his second start and looks capable of progressing again but HOLD SWAY makes most appeal. Charlie Appleby won this last year and his yard have been in fantastic form in recent weeks. This colt looks the one to beat with three promising runs in the form book. Buldan should be suited by the step up in trip and go well again.
