Caravaggio (8/15), Khukri (10/3), Psychedelic Funk (10/1), Gorane (14/1), Pedestal (16/1), Mr Scarlet (25/1), Tinder (25/1), Virtudes (33/1), Mister Trader (40/1)

It will be a disappointment should CARAVAGGIO fail to extend his unbeaten sequence by landing this. He looked a colt with a big future in winning all four starts last summer and his trainer has earmarked this as a stepping stone towards Royal Ascot. Assuming he has wintered well, the others face a huge task. Khukri and Gorane are entitled to have claims of place money on their Navan run last month while Mister Trader is surely better than the form he was able to show at Ascot in June having gone off favourite for the Windsor Castle Stakes. Pedestal, who did run well in that Ascot contest, is also a notable runner.
