Firnas (6/4), Zzoro (7/1), Beardwood (8/1), Kapstadt (9/1), Awake My Soul (9/1), Majeed (10/1), Berkshire (12/1), Sgt Reckless (16/1), Hibou (16/1), Great Hall (16/1), Mootaharer (20/1), Top Notch Tonto (25/1), First Flight (33/1), Pactolus (40/1), Munaashid (50/1)

Sgt Reckless and Zzoro are recent winners who will be hoping for rain. Jockey bookings make Hibou and Beardwood interesting. Mootaharer gets a chance to put his career back on track and is one to note in the ring. Pactolus makes appeal having improved on the AW this winter and that progress is not reflected in his turf mark. FIRNAS may be a risky proposition after such a lengthy absence. However the form of his maiden victory and a Hardwicke Stakes entry suggest he is better than this. Market confidence in him would add to his appeal.
