To Dibba (4/5), Del Parco (3/1), Mark Of Excellence (4/1), Loujain (13/2), Wannabe Like You (8/1), Widnes (16/1), Here I Go Again (100/1), Tally's Son (200/1), Coral Caye (200/1)

TO DIBBA certainly has the most appealing piece of form on offer here, with his second place finish in a maiden to Greenham runner-up/Guineas fifth Dream Castle. He is certainly the one to beat here, especially given his connections, and even a repeat of that performance could be enough depending on how good some of his rivals turn out to be. Of those, it may be worth chancing Godolphin's Mark of Excellence, who is bred to win a maiden of this nature, while Loujain finished behind the selection at Doncaster but could easily fill the places here.
